Hi there,
I've got a 2.0 Meridian diesel HDI (2000). The fuel gauge is stuck on full, but returns to zero when the ignition is off. I've been told the red light for a low tank is a separate circuit, so should still come on when I'm low on fuel. Obviously I'm a little apprehensive. I was thinking of carrying 5 litres of diesel in a just incase, although will it damage the car if I run empty or will the engine shut itself off before doing any damage?
I filled the tank to the brim and the problem started after that. Is this just a coincidence or is it possible to get the float arm stuck or something? Would there be any merit to completely filling the tank again or trying any fuel system cleaner?
Many thanks!
