    Default Fuel Gauge always displaying Full.

    I dont know why but my fuel gauge always displays a full tank.
    Is there a way to fix this problem?

    Sender unit may be buggered, in which case they're a mofo to change as you need to remove the tank. Otherwise mabye a tech 2 MIGHT fix the problem. Mine wasn't displaying that accurate and the tech 2 fixed it up, well, as good as it's going to get anyway!

    You don't really have a choice, but to trust it lol.

    But mine is usually pretty accurate, had it down to 0km's a few times, but it still had about 10L's of fuel in reserve.

    I am having the exact same problem with my VZ Ute. Fuel Gauge sitting on full. Distance to empty is counting down. What was the final outcome with your situation? What kinda cost where you looking at to get it sorted? Who did you end up getting to do the job for you?
