Digital Fuel Gauge for Mehran

[c4capricorn]

Dear all,

Has anyone experimented with installing a digital aftermarket fuel gauge in Mehran since its analogue gauge is notorious for showing incorrect reading.

Mine is working but does not show correct fuel quantity.

Does it shows more fuel in tank or it shows lesser fuel ?

Fuel gauges usually doesn’t go bad. But sometimes when fuel is extremely low and top ups are very minor too, in those cases the fuel gauges start giving bad level readings.

Try to fill up the tank upto the brim and keep driving until the gauge comes close to the mark E and then top up again.
I believe the old fuel gauge will start working fine.

Whenever I refuel my cars, I always fill them to the brim. but the needle shows lesser fuel especially after consuming 4-6 liters.

For instance, i refilled it with needle at half and it only took 7 litres of fuel and when the needle is on E, it takes only 20 liters meaning 10 liters were in the tank so needle should have been at 1/4 not E.

Well in that case it seems its sensor need little adjustment.

There can only be two possibilities.
First open the fuel tank and check the sensor.
And if sensor is OK, then it might be the faulty needle. And to check needle, you have to open the cluster (which I don’t recommend).

However since you know well the difference of its actual & displayed readings, then its better to keep it running rather than fixing it. Because once fuel tank is open, mechanic will show something more discrete which needs attention or extra expense.

And on the otherside the meter fixing guys usually breaks 1-2 plastic clips while fixing the meter which seems very odd and will rattle with the vibrations while driving.

So better leave it as it is. Rest is your choice.
