Fuel Gauge

[95GTST]

OK, here's what's pissing me off... I normally get about 400km out of a tank, with half a tank gone I normally manage 270kms and only get the 130km out of the rest which doesn't make sense :chairshot

I gather the fuel gauge isn't that accurate, does anyone else's r33 do this?

Does anyone have an aftermarket electronic fuel gauge installed? If so, can you recommend one to buy.

mine does the exact same,

a lot of lines do, pretty annoying but as long as you know you usually get 400 out it shouldnt really matter.

i fill up when the light comes on, not when it hits empty cause it might sit on empty for 50ks before the light even comes on

Does anyone out there have an aftermarket electronic fuel gauge, or can recommend one?

Have you guys opened the tank to see if the fuel sender has fallen off it's bracket?

Mine used to do this... Opened the tank... Found the fuel sender float unit flopping around in there... Placed it back on the mount... Problem solvered...

instructions to do so strut?

[strutto]

Ummm... In simple terms...

Open boot.

Remove plastic battery / boot seperator...

Unscrew 4 screws holding metal fuel tank cover...

Disconnect all hoses and electrical connections...

Unscrew fuel tank jar lid using the service tool (pffft) or a block of wood and a hammer...

Find fuel sender float floating in tank...

Replace on mount...

Reverse and repeat...

Not 100% but pretty close... This is off the top of my head... Plenty of topics around about how to do it though...

Yep.... In the tank... About 40cms long... 10cm in diameter... I wouldnt attempt it unless I had less than 1/2 a tank...
