Sticking fuel sender unit

Post by miniman »

Ive just popped to the pumps for a tenner of denzil, and the fuel gauge refuses to move from empty. I had this happen before, but it corrected itself after I put a load more fuel in.
I checked the connections under the hatch under the back seat, and they are perfect, hence my sticking sender theory.
Has anyone seen this before, or know the problem?
I know I can get home on what is there, but it could be a problem in the long run if I dont repair it.
