Thread: Annoying fuel gauge issue..

Guys,
My D2 seems to have a dubious grip on the truth for when it's actually getting low on fuel. Perhaps it's just one of life's eternal optimists and likes to see its glass as always being half full but i'm really wishing it wouldn't.

Second time this has happened now, parked it up with the gauge reading low, not at the point of having the warning light on but not far off it - so in theory a good few litres left in the tank. Parked on a slight slope with the nose pointed down the hill, not much of a gradient - just nosed in to the kerb on a normal cambered street.

Come to start the bugger back up again a day later and will it start? Will it chuff. Turns over, gives the occasional kick but not enough to actually get running.

Stick in a couple of litres of fuel from a can and all is once again right with the world.

Now i normally wouldn't mind a bit of inaccuracy or if i was parking it on a serious gradient causing it to misread but it still shows as having a good bit left and this only seems to happen when it's parked up and then restarted - will run fine well into the red when on the move.

Is this something to be expected with the D2 and just one to live with as a result of the fuel pickup location, or is mine playing up? I don't mind myself making sure i don't let it run too low but the other half might not always remember & having to cart around a can of fuel just incase could be a pain.

Anyone else experience the same?

Cheers

Al

Cheers, will have a look see - haven't run out of fuel on the move as yet despite the light being on a few times but could well be something loose/colapsed back there.

Thanks
