The fuel gauge in the race car is rubbish. Regularly says we're running out of fuel while out on circuit only to stop and it say I've got 1/4 a tank (as happened this weekend!)Is there a better alternative or a fix available? I'm guessing there will be some difference when the car is stationary / just started versus while out on track but not as much as it is! ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Yup, all standard. Doing a throttle body build in the next few months so wondered if there's something I could do differently?________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Interesting, I've never had this problem on track and also using the standard pump in tank and fuel float.I doubt the swirl pot and high pressure pump would affect the fuel reading. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

It consistently under reads which means we're doing a little bit of fuel saving when we actually don't need to. I expect the gauge to be slightly lower while running due to fuel in the system rather than just the tank but not this much!________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |
