Unhappy

Filled the car up today from nearly empty, to full and got 43litres in there, but the gauge is only reading half full! Could the float in the tank be stuck? Anyone had similar probs?

Mine does it now and then. Completely random readings for a while and then clears itself. I'll have a look at the float one day.

In the meantime i reset the trip every time i fill up so that i know to start looking for fuel at 250 miles.
