    Yep... It's like the gauge is out by 1/4 tank. Fill it up, and by the time I've driven about 200km the gauge has fallen to The F mark

    Looks good though when the trip meter says I've driven 600km and the gauge says 1/2 !! Keeps folks on their toes when I say "look, I only used 1/2 tank for the last 600km" ... People are very impressed with my fuel economy

    Fill at 1/4 takes around 80-85L

    I'm used to it ... now.

    It is possible your float assembly has become partially detached from the pump. Some times on installation or assembly it is not completely locked in place and then eventually comes adrift giving spurious readings.

    Quiet possible that's it ... But the readings are consistent.

    The readings may be consistent if the float assembly is dislodged, it's worth a check to rule it out because it's more likely a mechanical issue rather than electronic.

    I have the exactly the same issue, it only just happened after some rough tracks in Tassie. I think you are probably spot on the money.
