Fuel level reading

[grepin]

All of a sudden my car has decided to read full until half a tank and then decides to drop. What could cause this?

Thanks

Cool thanks just wanted to find out before I went to the trouble of opening the tank. I presume you have seen this trouble before.

Yeah happened on mine... Opened the tank up, found the sender floating loose in there... Tightened the brackets, put the sender back on...

Never happened again...

All fixed. That was the exact problem.

Thanks Strutto

Can someone please give me some instructions on how to do this ?

How do I get to the fuel tank?

yeah same, i tried today cause i have that exact problem, but wasn't really able too. Didn't wanna wreck anything so thought i'd ask before muscling it.

Hey mate, i found a good lot of instructions to get in there, it was in the DIY section of the forum and was showing a fuel pump install.

Hi guys, along similiar lines to this post I have an issue with a Fuel Guage in my R33 GTS-T that reads ZERO (or less than).

I have just changed my fuel pump and didn't touch the sender at all, but I must of damaged the pressure hose on re-installation and it eventually leaked like a sieve above the white fuel tank plug. This took quite a few kays to start leaking, so therefore a lot of fuel was around the electrical wiring when I got back to the top of the tank.

Anyway, I fixed the hose real easy (by cutting the damage of the end) but now the guage reads empty. The only thing that I can think of is that the residual fuel which accumulated in the depression where the wiring plugs connect may have caused a short.

As I am led to believe there isn't a fuse attached to the fuel sender and the guage is there anyway to rectify this? What have I blown considering the guage is stuck completely with either half or a full tank of fuel?

Any help would be very appreciative.

Regards

Stephen
