    GUIV Fuel gauge has false reading

    Hey guys,

    so the mighty GUIV is now relegated to being driven by the wife as a daily which is Ace cause it will keep the Kms down on it. Freeway commuting kms SUCK.

    I drove it on the weekend and noted that it needed a fuel up but didn't get around to it. the full light was on when i pulled in the drive (I know I know, i should have sorted it... but i didn't).

    Today Naomi was driving the daughter to daycare around the corner and it cut out. She had trouble starting it and ca led me, it turned over a heap then fired so she got in and drove while i was on the phone. It was sluggish then stopped and she parked it and walked.

    Sat there all day as i was in Melbourne. Got home tonight and tried it, primed it and after a bit got it going for 10m then done. Ended up on a tilt tray back home.

    So talking to Naomi trying to figure if she had got some bad fuel somewhere?? the gauge was showing 1/4 of a tank......

    NO WAY!! when i got it home i started at the fuel filter and checked for prime then supply and clearly it was empty. 20t jerry later and its good to go.

    SO! Bloody thing! i have filled it up and filled the Sub, i have always filled both and Always wait for the light to come on the pump the sub and empty both tanks every cycle pretty well.

    What can i check guys?

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
