Digressing a little, i realise this has probably been discussed before but is there any way that the fuel guages can be modified to get a degree of accuracy, i note there are different senders been discussed, can these be fitted under warranty? I picked my car up after servicing it was showing 77% stood on a flat surface within 15-20 miles it was dipping in and out around 40% by the time i got back, a total of 69 miles, it was showing 0%. Is this common and acceptable.
I spoke to Mark Cerrone about this during the build of my car and even offered him the replacement 280mm long VDO sensor to fit but he was reluctant to change the standard 250mm one. As an aside the manual would have to be re-written as it states that 3 gallons of fuel remain when gauge reads 0%!
I very much doubt you would effect a warranty claim therefore although Mark did note the part number of my replacement, so maybe in the future......
I have fitted the longer sender myself (straight swap) which gives a greater range of readings and a more sensible gallon and a half remaining at 0%. You can obtain a 280mm one
here.
