Hi

I jumped into the Tamora the other day to check how much fuel I had for the short 15 minute trip to Cars in the Park; flipping through the menus, it displayed 9 litres. That's enough, I thought so the next day I set off. I get half way when the car screams at me that there's only 4 litres in the tank. I start to get nervous. Having no time to fill up before I put the car on display, I decide to fill up on the way home. However, when I get back in later it tells me 2 litres. Given the length of the queue to get out I was already organizing my excuses to the watching public as "anther TVR breaks down...". However, when I looked through the menus again, I saw the same page listed the day before and it stated 8 litres. Is this typical that there can be two readings for fuel levels? scratchchin

I suspect as much; I'm no stranger to TVR fuel gauge anomalies as I've got a Griffith that has a rather 'binary' gauge. I was just confused that there seemed to be two simultaneous values for the fuel at any one time. Odd.
