fuel tank

[harleyak]

think i may of asked this before, the fuel tank gauge is not reading properly so when i fill up the indicator rises slowly up to show full and not sure how much is genuinely in there, anybody have any idea of a fix and costs?......

If you fill it to point of fuel pump cut off, it is best not to brim it, and your gauge shows full; what is the issue ?

Hello mate

 

You sound like you need a new fuel guage float in the tank.

These are around £30-£40

Here is a video of how to get to it. This video is about the pump, but when watching it i can see the fuel float

thank you, looks easy enough i'll look into having my grand daughter's boyfriend to take a look, watched the video and it looks straight foreward, many thanks

@harleyak While you are doing that it would be a really good idea to change fuel filter at the same time. as you can see in the video, his was very dirty.

not a bad shout I would've over looked that 😊👍
