Well done. [emoji1] that's a great ending to a long headache. I'm very pleased to hear it has worked out for you and that you got all that you were entitled to.
I love a happy ending [emoji1360].

Most likely the problem is the replacement tank - the fuel sender in it probably has a different resistance to the original tank sender. Might be worth a call to the repairer and see if they still have the original tank but most likely it has been binned by now. Those senders are worth gold - approx. $450.Quote:

There are several threads about this problem but basically the easiest and cheapest fix if you cant get the original sender back is to buy a matched set of sender and gauge. Try JEG's in the states. Either that or measure the empty/full resistances of the sender you have and buy the corresponding gauge. My new gauge was $100 to my door in 4 days. You may not be able to get it exactly the same but mine is close.
If you need more info on this saga let me know.
Regards,
My typical debate with my ex-wife, if you get hurt in an accident whilst driving your Perentie. I pity the outcome for the others. Mate I have 80% of the parts at very reasonable prices, including the right hand wheel arch. All items are 100% ex- army Perentie stock. If you need anything send me a PM.
Sorry about your Perentie brings a tear to your eye. I'm a new member so hope I havnt said anything wrong, policies sent my strong. 3 x Perenties + 3 x S1 + 3 x S3 and a huge garage of everything in-between.
Cheers mate. Ant.
