    Hey All

    After filling up, the last pip on my gauge is not lighting up. I've searched the forum, and the general consensus seems to be a re calibration is in order. Just want to get some final opinions before I give this a go. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Never over fll it will cause gage problems,I find if I fill mine up after the auto stop the gage takes a while before it registers.

    Just in case anyone else is having this issue, it seems, for the most part, to have corrected itself. It appears to have been caused by over filling, so lesson learned.

    Thanks for the idea. It still is a little wonky. I'll try your suggestion. One question though. When you say "set the brake" do you mean keep your foot on it during this process? Thanks again. Chris

    I think that was a spambot.
