So I'm not sure if any one else has had this problem before but I get about 300-350 Kay's to a tank. Not due to poor fuel economy tho, I average about 7.5ltr/100 around town and nice 13ltr/100 on the free way. It's down to a more simply issue , I've worked out ( through the hard way of running out of petrol) that I can only access at BEST 45ltrs of my 63ltr tank. Obviously my intank fuel pump isn't sitting low enough. But why? I haven't done anything to it. Any way I can resolve this?

Does anyone else share the same issue???

have a look and see if your tank is dented. I seem to recall only having a 45-50 litre tank on my VLski
