Fuel Sensor HELP PLEASE

G'day Guys,

 

I have a mercury Verado 175hp and am having some issues with the fuel readings, I have a 220ltr tank and at the servo fuel up until its full, even full enough to drip out the breather.

Issue is the electronic Fuel Gauge only says it's roughly 100-130 ltrs, I have checked the breather and all is sweet there and checked all connections to the fuel sensor and they look fine,

 

What else could it be???

 

 

Cheers

Kristian

Yep. sounds like a fuel level sensor issue to me. is it still under warranty? if so take it back to the dealer and ask them to diagnose it. i cant see it being a gauge or anything like that. The Merc dealer should be able to through a lap top on and check it out. Good luck.

thanks mate, it's really weird though at the fuel station after ive filled up it says 210-215 then when i get it home it goes to about 100-130, and both fuel station and my driveway are level.

check the bilges ;p

ask your dealer to have a look -but why it would change from 220 -100 ???

whats it do when u get in some swell- does it go back to full?  i ve had a manual float type gauge that did that to me, then worked out it had a hole in the float so it would show full then slowly fill with fuel - start to show empty
