stranded last night on the side of the road

[SteveSPG]

fuel gauge said 17 litres...but on fact not a drop!

odd as it has been fine

presume the sender is just decided to lie to me for some reason...

are they easy enough to replace?
any other suggestions?

Float switch is probably stuck. Access via the plate on the fuel tank about £20 if it needs replacing

almost...the sender had become detached from the mounting in the tank, so was floating about sending whatever signal it thought

probably caused by me when i replaced the fuel pumps with uprated ones...so can't really blame the car...at least it was sunny whilst i waited at the side of the road for a man with fuel to arrive
