Hypothetically speaking.... - WiNgNuTz - 26-07-2012
....how difficult would it be to make the infamous Peugeot fuel gauge accurate again? Would it be a simple job to replace the sensor, or would it be a replacement tank?

Peugeot fuel guages are never accurate. 
But changing intank pump should make it 'more' accurate as that's where the float is.

No gauges are that accurate. Most cars lie to you about how much fuel is left anyway. Providing there is still fuel left in the tank when the needle is at the bottom of the red, it's fine!

Last week, the light was on in my Saab, so thought i'd better go fill up. It was quite far into the red and the trip computer said I had 30 miles left.
I got 51l in!
Meaning I had 14l left in there!
Saab fuel gauges are rubbish too

mines pretty damned accurate as far as I can tell
RE: Hypothetically speaking.... - WiNgNuTz - 27-07-2012
Mines pretty good until about the quarter of a tank mark. Might just deal with it tbh.

AFAIK it's down to the shape of the tank, so unless you're willing to change the tank then it ain't gonna happen!
