Fuel Gauge Reads all the time.

Post by GrayRX8 » Mon Jun 14, 2010 2:42 pm

Hi
Apologies if this appeared in some odd place about a week ago ( i probably clicked the wrong button)

But my question is in the subject title. Haven't had my Bongo for long,and the fuel gauge reads all the time,igntion off even with key out. Temp gauge drops back when ignition is turned off but not the fuel gauge. It seems to read fairly accurate - full when i tank it up and drops down to empty when you would expect it.

Is this normal? or do i need to fix something?

Thanx in advance Gray.

This was also one of my first questions.
If I find anything strange on the Bongo, I ask just in case it is normal.
It saves you looking like this :shock:

Da fuel gauge does read all the time like an old girl friend of mine had her nose in a book like da hook in a fish, she was pretty and all! But would read like brain box stuff by Chekhov & even the Times.
Dat paper wasn't mine to savor, da flavor too wordy for the news, pictures all that i do
i wanna no some bomber on the moon has landed, not branded, i wanna keep a hand free when i'm turnin the pagery & some honey says i counted three. :mrgreen:

Education, education, education" was Tony Blair’s slogan for the 1997 general election.
Shame it never happened.

Thatcher taught me in the ghetto of hard knocks, the silver fox may have passed it on, but i was put up to a 45 strong super class, but it was a blast getting type cast wid my homies just another face in a que to the dole line
But i's doin fine wiv my slick line & a rhyme rolling by with dynamics on a Nissan Skyline in da Bongo form, Wid my crew 1 shool leavers between the whole shebang is just the norm.
I is rolling fat, I know if i bridge the connector to the fuel sender i be free flow on a full bender! :wink:
So who's laughing now? When i'm covering more ground round town than a coke crazed pot hole mender! 8)
