    Guys,

    Need Help... the fuel gauge of my adventure suddenly won't work...... tried gassing up but still the needle didn't move. What do you think was the cause of that? Has anyone experienced the same thing? What other checking do I need to do before bringing it to the repair shop?

    Hoping for your reactions. Thanks

    1 possible culprit could be the "float" in your gas tank got stuck.

    kung yong needle goes down to zero, malamang tama si sir Falken, bago yong float valve sa gas tank.
    Kung stuck up yong needle , malamang yong gauge ang defective.
    Pacheck mo sa competent mechanic.

    Guys just found the problem. It turned out that the fuel gauge wire under the chassis was ripped off by my dog. Watch out for this if your dog usually stays under the car. Anyway, it was reconnected and the fuel gauge worked.

    Thanks for those who replied.

    Ako din po fuel gauge problem din. Kahit po i-full tank ko ayaw sumagad nung needle. At hindi ko po alam kung gumagana pa ung emergency fuel lamp, kaya po estimate lang po kung kelan ako papa-gas uli. Takot po ako sagarin ung gas, sabi ng erpats masama daw matuyuan po, kaya pag nakita ko ng tumakbo ako ng 300kms after one full tank, pa-gas na po uli.

    Any reactions po? Salamat.

    My former car had only two readings. If the tank was more than half, the gauge read full tank. If less than half, empty.

Defective fuel gauge
