My fuel gauge has gone nuts again. Its not a loose wire in the dash, checked that. When full, the tank shows 7/8's full. When the tank gets low (1/4) the guage randomly flops up and down. However, the low fuel warning light doesnt come on, even the gauge is showing below 0.
I'm wondering if this has anyhthing to do with the strong petrol smell i have in the car (normally after giving the loud pedal a bit of a bash). Its very strong, its not crankcase fumes either.
I've also noticed that when i last went to fuel up, there was no hiss from the cap. The tank wasnt pressurised. I'm thinking a seal has gone somewhere, but is that likely to send the gauge loopy?
The car had its tank replaced under recall around 2 years ago.
