    Default Fuel gauge sticking?

    Hey all

    Ive got a 2000 VX and a couple of months ago, the fuel gauge stopped moving.
    If i completely fill it up, it'll show full, but once it gets to about 1/2, it stays there.

    Is there anything i can do to fix this? or is this telling me theres an issue with something else?


    cheers
    Jeremy

    possibly the float arm in the tank is getting jammed. you will need to pull the pump out to check this. make sure the tank is near empty or you may get a facefull of fuel!

    Yer sounds like somethings jammed, mine did this once kinda, was just under half, went to fill it up, put 60 bucks in and was like holy s*** what the F*** is going on?? and then turned on the car and nothing moved.. drove for a while and slowly went up to full, been fine since.
