VZ SV6 fuel gauge
I think the fuel gauge problem is across the board. Maybe it’s just more noticeable in the utes because of the smaller tank. I always drive till the computer says 0 kms left yet I have never been able to get more than 64 litres into what is supposed to be a 75 litres tank. I sure hope the other 11 litres are accessible if ever I need them.
The gauge is not bad till it gets to about half then it just goes bananas. The other day I left the car on a small slope. When I switched on, it wared me that I had only 20 kms to go. By the time drove the 3 kms home it said 200 kms to go. I switched the engines off then on again and it read 360 kms to go. I wish I really had fuel economy like that. But seriously, how can you something like that in a car. The wooden dip stick I used on my 1954 Veedub was better.
