|  Sujet: My visit to the mechanic today  Sam 4 Nov - 19:56 | |
| | Hello all..good afternoon...today i went to the mechanic to check the float in the fuel tank..because the fuel gauge always gives me "full" even if the car is running out of fuel...so..at the mechanic he take off the fuel tank..and removed the float ..he checked it...something needed soldering..and he did it..then he installed the float again..now my gauge gives me that i have 70 % of tank full..but iam sure i have only between 12 and 15 litres maximum..i also have been told that the fuel tank need to get straightened..it had a shock maybe from something in the street and it has a "curve" from the lower surface..and that can has an impact on the level of fuel the guage tells me...any suggestions? |

| | Bonjour tout .. bonjour ... aujourd'hui je suis allé chez le mécanicien vérifier le flotteur dans le réservoir à carburant .. parce que l'indicateur de niveau de carburant me donne toujours "complet" même si la voiture manque du combustible ... ainsi .. au mécanicien il enlève le réservoir à carburant .. et enlevé le flotteur .. il l'a vérifié ... quelque chose la soudure nécessaire .. et il l'a fait .. alors il a installé le flotteur de nouveau .. maintenant mon calibre me donne que j'ai 70 % de réservoir .. complet, mais iam sûr j'ai seulement entre 12 et le maximum de 15 litres .. on m'a dit aussi que le réservoir à carburant doit être redressé .. il avait un choc peut-être de quelque chose dans la rue et il a "une courbe" de la surface plus basse .. et cela peut avoir un impact sur le niveau de combustible le guage me dit ... des suggestions ? |

| | I think you could do nothing. Mine, when show half of the tank i have a little bit more and when show a quarter i have a little bit less. So, i think all are just an indicator of the level on the fuel but not very true of the real level. They are right only your tank is empty. |

yes you are right coilb...i have read an article about this..and i think most indicators will give you "full" at first...and then it will suddenly give you empty or before empty...but at least it will give u a notice..also iam sure when it will give you empty...the tank will have at least it's quarter of fuel..which is good...thanks alot |
