probably relates to the solder joints on circuit board.

its just an idiosyncracy of the d9 fuel gague, accept it with humour.

Hmm yup it couid be but once the fuel light comes on and i slam £20 in the fuel light is back on in no time,
its either faulty or they have a very big fuel reserve,

unfortunatly ive no Handbook so icarn check how much the fuel reserve is,
if ibrim the tank the fuel guage becomes acurate the problem comes when it gets below a quarter when the guage becomes pinochio

the orange light is a bit different mine never does it inappropriatley it just adds fuel some times. You actually should get the sender checked.

cheers mate,
iwill leave the thing alone me thinks idont want to be disturbing the pump an all that,
May be parking my car on a slope isnt helping it,

ive heard disconecting the plug for the fuel sender under the seat whilst ign is on and putting it back in again Resets it,
