This conversation may give you some clues about the problem.

thanks Don,

anyone else with faulty fuel gauge issues please?

Depends on what the problem is as there is a mix of mechanical and electronic?

I think you mean it could be a faulty fuel sender or gauge so I need to work that one out first?

8

the fault I have is that the reserve light flashes all the time and the fuel gauge shows empty…

The fuel gauge in the tank is a mechanical item and the resistance can be checked It may have got stuck in the low position or there is a wiring fault between the dash and the sender. Mine only flashes when I am really low so it it is probably one of those!
