Although the car is SORN for the winter and tucked up in the garage... One of the jobs on the 'list of jobs to do' is to fix the fuel gauge.. It works - but is only accurate to the 2nd half of the dial. If I go under 'half full' then I run out of petrol - as happened twice this summer. So I always carry a 5lt canister with me now.
My Dad can't remember what fuel tank it has (he thinks it might have been from a Fiesta but isn't sure). For LWB Roadters built of the 2001/2002 era - what options were there for fuel tanks? Were only certain types used from certain donor cars - or was it more like 'make it fit' from a variety of smaller cars? I don't have pictures of the tank atm but in a month or so I might get it up on blocks and get underneath. The dash instrument is a Smiths gauge & I suspect that it hasn't been calibrated to the fuel tank sender either properly - or at all - or perhaps it once was but something has over time, corrupted the electrical signal. For the time being I have taped over the '1st half of the gauge' so that if I can see the dial needle than I'm alright, if I can't - time to fill up! I'd appreciate some advice on tackling this one!
