Hi all,
I seem to be having a minor problem with my fuel gauge!
This has now caused me (mostly my wife...) to run out of fuel in an embarrasing manner [:I]
I didn't quite believe what my wife was saying until today and the latest stranding (this time on a motorway - luckily close to the services!). The gauge showed 1/4 full, but I found lack of power when accelarating, which then caused my speed to drop, and drop, and drop....
I was thinking maybe I had water on the ignition circuit somewhere as thats what it felt like - but on turning the engine off, and then immediately back on again I noticed the fuel gauge was registering in the orange "danger" segment. Checking my trip meter I found that I had done a fair few miles and probably could do with more fuel, and on taking the time to refill found this to be my problem!!
My question is, Is this fuel gauge behaviour a Peugeot-ism? Or is it maybe something to do with the fact the engine is injected (thus having a return circuit) that makes the fuel level difficult to read?
Or would it be worth my while fitting a new fuel sender unit (as I guess this is the likely culprit, unless anyone else knows better)[?]
Dodgy Petrol Gauge?
