Hi Shane, have you checked the earth wire on the fuel sender, its hidden under the carpet under middle seats, you will see a metal plate undo the screws to reveal the sender, check contacts arre clean and re earth if necessary :wink:

a common fault with them.
the connection with the earth is a very small pop rivet which comes loose so you get an intermittant fault then nothing, clean up one of the screws on the plate and crimp a piece of wire between that and the wire nearest to the front of the bongo on the plug connection, that one is the earth providing they havnt changed from a 95 model. i believe the colour is black.
