Friends: 0 |  My fuel gauge is stuck on half full. I have filled the tank I never let it go below one bar past half and now it willnot indicate that the tank is full ( I put in 5 gallons and it still sits on half full). Any suggestions? darwin |

Usually a 4 gallon fill is enough to get the guage to reset. It may, however, be a fluke that yours didn't. Honestly I'd just run this tank a good 400 miles before refilling and it should take care of itself. I would not do the calibration/reset at this point unless the problem recurs. | |

Friends: 0 | thanks I figured you would have a solution. I will give it a while (but this is the second tank full that I put in and it did not reset...however I never go 400 miles without a fillup...perhaps this is the problem? I am leaving for a 6 week trip driving to Alaska and would not like to go with out having a working fuel guage. darwin |
