Fuel Tank Filled Up But Gauge Is 75% (¾) by temmym4(op): 7:13pm On Dec 09, 2017*

Is this normal? I filled up my Tank to the brim this morning and when i started the car, it was just ¾ of the fuel gauge.

At first i was thinking it was because of the position i parked during filling, but as soon as i left the filling station, poured little fuel and the stuff was actually full.

Please whats wrong? How can i correct this? I have tried removing/Reinserting the Fuel pump fuse. Still the same result.

Could the problem be from the Tank?

Any solution please?

mine seems to be the opposite,. I put 6k fuel and the gauge jumped passed the full mark! When the tank wsnt full. I think its the fuel pump sensor or setting thing.

Check fuel gauge float and sensor.. Probably defective..

It takes abt 15 minutes of driving for the guage to move appropriately else it's faulty

Thanks for the response guys.

It was actually faulty. i took it to my mechanic today and he brought out the Pump/Sensor from the Tank (Both were actually designed attached). It was corrected and everything worked fine.

Getting to his workshop, my Fuel gauge was already ½. Opening the Tank and we saw that Fuel was filled to the brim.

Attached are the pictures before and After.
