Bongo Fury

Anyone noticed a fuel gauge that seems sticky after filling up?

Any other time it seems responsive enough - goes down steadily while driving, drops to the bottom when the ignition switch goes off, comes back up to where it came from when switching back on but after refueling it starts pretty much where it was before and only creeps up slowly.

Is this any indication of problems to come or nothing I should worry about?

Are you sure it goes down when ignition switched off - I thought it stayed put at all times. Also it should be very slow to respond due to the damping built in.

Sounds like a dodgy earth. Under the middle seats carpet you'll find a removable panel, under that is the sender unit. Make up a seperate earth and attach it to a sound earth point nearby and the job's a carrot

Mine doesn't drop with the ignition off either....

Right enough, now that I have looked at it more closely it is the temp gauge that drops when I turn off.

Put fuel in this afternoon but the needle took a few miles to go up from where it had been before.

perfectly normal

It does take a while to kick in bighairy...Glad its not just mine, must be a bongo thing...

It seems we are all still learning about this vehicle, Bigdaddy .

I would conclude this is, as Haydn commented, "perfectly normal"

Thanks for the replies folks

now on to the next discovered quirk.....
