So Brains trust.
Ran out of fuel on the freeway🤬. Complete surprise as level was just above empty and NO fuel light on.???
Fueled up on side of the road10L, car started and fuel light came on??, drove the 1klm to the petrol station, (so close), but could only put 30L in.??
Drive home 380klms and gauge worked as expected. When I got home checked the OBD and showed FLI% @ 59%. Gauge showed about 40%.
So. From complete empty, 40L in a 50L tank?, And OBD with about the same error to fuel gauge. What could be causing me not to be able to access that last 10L?
Have some ideas but wanna ask the group.
Cheers.
