PETROL NOT SHOWING ON GAUGE.

[mark stan]

I went to the petrol station last night and put £20 in my c4 and the gauge never showed the petrol just added ???
Only the petrol that was in it already ???
Any idea`s my citroen friends

Perhaps it was running on fumes and £20 quids-worth isn't enough to get the gauge off the empty stop?

More seriously, either the gauge or the sender is stuck. If my Xantia is filled to the brim, the gauge needle sticks on F until the panel is given a sharp tap (with a finger!). Or it could be that the complicated electronics are playing silly Bs. I could never understand why Renault? thought that advertising that a new model had 12? computers was a selling point - surely any sensible person would have thought "OMG! A whole IT department's worth of the things to go wrong!"
