OK, heres the story. Was on the way to work, running out of petrol, pulled into caltex, and they were out of vortex and they had no premium pumps. So i put in $10 worth of regular unleaded (i know i know)

Now since then, my petrol guage went up, then went down, down, down, WELL BELOW empty (where its never been before). I suspected it may be dodgy fuel just sending my fuel level guage haywire so i stopped into BP and put $30 worth of ultimate98 in, and it went up for a short time, then when i started driving it went right back down under E.

Anything like this happened to anyone else? It seems to head up towards the normal level when idles, but when i go anywhere, it goes right below empty. Car drives fine, no problems, just the fuel guage is stuffed. Possibly the fuel level thingy in the tank could be stuffed?

Please help :thumbsup:

Cheers

I've had the guage go down past the 'E', then float back up to full again, and then back down again.... but it would have been caused by installing a new fuel pump myself and knocking the sensor off. It's always fun to never quite know how much fuel you have!

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
