fuel gauge issue - butthead - 06-04-24
hi there , i have a 2001 fzs600. this fuel gauge has played up before but was cured simply by disconnecting fuel reader connection block spraying wD 40 into it and ridding the furring ( ver de gris ) off the connections and it was working perfectly again. this time possibly coincidentally as a result of needing to temporarily disconnect the battery to do a different job entirely , found the fuel gauge which worked before was now not working properly , that is to say not working as it should ! i have checked for the same issue as first time , all clean still and no reason to suspect similar reason as before .
the tank is about 70% full yet the fuel gauge will slowly climb up to the first mark above empty and no more , the needle drops back where it should when ign off, so it is operating but not normally ( if were allowed to use such a word these days :lol [size=78%]) [/size]
[size=1em]what could be the reasons and solutions[/size][size=1.35em] ? [/size][size=1em]how would i verify the faulty items ?[/size]
[size=1em]in the interim two questions,[/size]
[size=1em]although the gauge wont go any higher than first mark , would it react normally when fuel is lower than where its reading right now?[/size]
[size=1em]does the fuel warning light depend on working fuel gauge? is it linked or independent to the fuel gauge , in other words can i rely on the fuel warning light despite faulty gauge ?[/size]
[size=1em]just thought of a third question now , when fuel warning light does come on , how much fuel do you have left ? obviously fuel up immediately but what does the fuel warning light represent in mileage terms ? [/size]
[size=1em]thanks anyone who responds [/size]
