Fuel gauge + Fuel consumtion
« on: 07 June 2005, 14:14 »
Hi everyone, sorry to myther again.

My problem is, that I dont know how the fuel gauge readings work ????

You have the red reserve bit, then 3 white lines. I presume the first line is half, then three quarters, then full ????

If so, then the right hand end of the red zone is one quarter ??? 

Also, if I put £10, I usually only get 50 miles, is this about right ???, as I think I may have a fuel leak.
Its a 1.8 carb engine.
