Fuel Gauge Drops Almost To Empty Atu-turn In A Rou

[nouvo33]

hi guys

car: r33 GTS-T series II

Very interesting question. Each time I take a U-turn in a roundabout and the boost comes in , my fuel gauge decreases until it's very low and then climbs its way up slowly...

I roughly understand that in each car, the petrol is liquid and may occupy different levels when the car is not stable(ie after a lot of left & right movements) causing the sensors to read different readings but in this case, I hope I can get some opinion from you guys.

Thanks

hey man im having the same problem, altho i dont think its related to turns more so bumps on the road and just randomly drops at other times allthough i have very stiff suspenstion so a twig on the road could set it off. It started to play up for me after i had a play with the tereo in the boot i asume i must of hit something in the process, im about to investigate it soon. the other thing is when my fuel gage drops to below zero the fuel light doesnt come on, i wonder if that could narrow the search down

maybe electrical connection rather than anything to do with your fuel level?

i always fill up when i get to half a tank .but just a quick qustion as i never let my tank get that low does anyone know how many litres are still in the tank when the fuel light does come on ?

i noticed something. This only happens (fuel gauge drops) when my fuel is actually below the topmost fuel bar. When the tank is full,it's ok.

i had the same problem on my 96 r33 ser II...if the fuel gauge pin drops slowly then its your fuel level sensor in the tank...if the pin flickers to empty then to full again then its electrical.

Does anyone able recify this problem on the fuel gauge? this problem is really pissing me off.

seen it before on a barina.

it was electrical in that case.

needle moved quickly.
