Hi Guys, I do not have fuel in my car but the gauge shows that I have a quarter tank of pretrol. I filled up my tank and the needle did not move, I drove for about 10 kms and switched off the neddle shot right up to full, now, it went back to the original problem. What could be the problem.

my guess, fuel sending/sensor unit is faulty

Hi, had the exact same problem, turned out to be a faulty fuel sensor inside the fuel tank connected to the float, had that replaced which resolved the problem.
