Fuel gauge?.........

The fuel gauge in my 96' 110 was working fine until a few days ago, fill it up, it says full, 5 miles down the road, half full, then empty, then 3/4 full.

Do fuel gauges need replacing?

Thanks for any help; I've looked at other threads about gauges and can't seem to get a definative answer.

Cheers, Mark

sounds like a sender fault - not a gauge.

Thanks for the quick reply; thats my initial thought, I just wonder if gauges go wrong as well.

Thanks again, cheers, mark

Just a thought but, have you checked that the voltage stabiliser for the dashboard gauges is still connected the the fuel gauge. If it has failed or come off the gauge will read the output of the alternater as it changes i.e, the faster the alternater turns the more volts produced, the higher the reading on the fuel gauge.

Do deependers have a voltage stabiliser? Where is it? Cuddn find mine a while back.

Thanks for the replies Gents.

Interestingly, with the ignition on, it goes to nearly full, if I rock the landy, the needle moves about before settling back to nearly full.

I'll try that again tomorrow with the engine running, and see if there's as difference.

Cheers, Mark

My 90 did this, changed the sender (2 min job on a 90, not so easy on a 110 i don't think) and it works fine now...although the replacement one had a different wiring set up which confused me for a mo!
