LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted May 24, 2012 The petrol light came on yesterday but i didnt have time to fill it up when i was out. Just come out to fill up now & put 56 & a bit liters in (by the receipt) but it still beeps & says range limited/light is on. The needle hasn't budged either Im guessing its a float type thingy in the petrol tank but could it have dropped with the petrol level & got stuck down? If it is stuck, can i unstick it?

Smaky 73 Report post Posted May 24, 2012 turn the ignition to MAR, open the drivers door, grab the roof tight and shake the car as hard as you can side to side and try to get it bouncing, watch the fuel gauge as it rises. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
