Fuel drop

Dangermike · Apr 23, 2012

Hello,

Yesterday I had about a quarter tank of diesel, I put in £25 and was surprised that it jumped up to 3/4 full...

After to driving to work and back, I stalled going up a hill ( only got car yesterday) now the fuel gauge says just over a quarter, it dropped straight after I stalled. Any ideas? Thanks

faulty sender, float absorbent to fuel.

Is this an easy fix?

Seems that most Freelander fuel gauges are inaccurate, mine certainly is. Stays on full for about 80 miles then drops to 3/4 after a couple of miles then just seems to choose its own reading when ever it wants. I just fill it up then top up when it reaches 1/4 of a tank.

mine and the wifes are both inacurate

Same here full for 100 mls then drops quickly the slows down again. Seems accurate when near empty.

You need new side steps ,roof lights and a few other bits ...... and need to get your bumper black .:lol:
I was going to post in that other thread of yours to save your money to fix the things that break in the next few weeks .

If you don't already have a haynes manual ,invest asap .

i tend to have ood readings from the fuel gauge after not running it for a week then filling it - it tends to stick as a full tank for around 1/2 a tank them drop over night then work normaly
