ey guys, im having trouble with my fuel gauge, id be on a 1/4 of a tank, then fill it up and it didnt take more then 25litres, doesnt seem right. and i cant be bothered pulling the dash out to fix it. i was thinking of just buying a specometer fuel gauge instead, so it would be more acurate. what do you think? should i also change my fuel sender that i have in the tank at the moment? thanks

your going to have to tap into the fuel guage wire in the back of the dash to fit the speco guage anyway... There is a tech article on how to fix the problem you have, so do a search, have a read and get to it.

its actually the connection in the dash, the pins are too far apart and do not make a decent contact all the time... But if that doesnt fix the problem then its the fuel sender unit

would those things also explain the problem i have with my fuel guage?? alot of the time it just doesnt work.. then if it does.. it goes up.. shows how much petrol.. then dies again?
