SSC-40A & fuel gauge?

jsorger · 02-29-2004, 03:29 PM

Has anyone else who has had their SSC-40A work performed noticed a difference in the fuel gauge operation?

I have only gone through 2 tanks so far, but my fuel gauge is now indicating 1/2 full at 240 miles. Much more accurate than before. It seems to be pretty on-target down to 2 bars.

It may not be related, however.

Are you sure that it is just getting warmer which will effect MPG.

Nope... MPG is holding steady at 51 (temps average 60 degrees here). It's the fuel gauge reading itself.

I had the update done but it had no effect on the fuel quanity gage reading. Still reads low and the dealer claims there is nothing wrong!! It takes about 7 to 8 gallons when one bar showing. Will be complaining to dealer again.
