Fuel Guage - wierd fault

Post by Mikey B » Sun Dec 02, 2007 11:40 am

This week was running low on diesel so I went to a different garage on my way to work. Used Shell diesel normally use Asda. Well as the fuel started to be used the guage would fluctuate between quarter full and 3/4 full.
To get to the point went back to Asda diesel yesterday - have covered 200km with the Asda diesel and no problems. Needle was reading properly.

wierd or what.
