hi all,

my deisel fuel gauge has always been a bit dodgy, never been spot on, only moves about every 30-40 miles by just suddenly drop all of a sudden.

but i have just got the car going again after me mother stuck petrol in it, and now the gauge is just being stupid. always showing lower than what i no is in the tank.
can someone tell me where the sensor is that detects the fuel levels in the tank and is there a way of fixing this issue.
it was anoying me before, but now its really peeing me off.

if i need a new part, then cost info would be nice.

thanks.
Mike.
