fuel gauge

Post by Z4play » Sat Jul 21, 2007 5:28 pm

My low fuel light has started coming on with the quage still showing 1/4 full. Anyone else have this happen, and is there a fix?

Thanks

Which is wrong, though? The low fuel warning or the gauge? Maybe you really are low on fuel... when you fill up when the light comes on, how many litres go in?

Mine seems to come on at just a bit below the 1/4 mark as well. Maybe we gotta live with it. :D

The heck with the fuel warning light......your car is a stunner. I really like the body color roll bar covers.
I seem to remember this car from Z4um. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I don't think it's that normal. Mine consistently lights up at the 1/8th full mark. I have about 10 litres of gas left at that point.

Your's is not normal.

Mine has never lit up because I usually fill up around the 1/4 mark.
