Just what I didn't need before a big roadtrip. Filled up the Kombi last night but today the fuel gauge gradually dropped further and further until the needle actually sat below the empty line!! Sometimes it would go back about a third of a tank after cornering or starting off at the lights but as soon as I had to stop at the next set of lights I could literally watch the needle slowly drop all the way back to below empty until it eventually stayed there this afternoon.
I kept checking under the Kombi a few times during the day just to be sure I wasn't leaking fuel and also checked the engine bay but could see no signs of leaks. To be sure I filled up again tonight and could only get $8 worth of petrol in the tank so figure it musn't be a leak.
Any suggestion on what might be wrong? It's not getting the sender replaced is it as I figure there's a snowball's chance in hell of getting that done before Valla?
Guess if I can't get it fixed by Friday I'll just have to fill up every 300kms going off the odometer just to be on the safe side.
