Hi all, my 2007 STX fuel gauge seems to have changed. In the last few months it seems the gauge doesn’t drop in accordance with fuel usage. That is, it used to slowly drop but now hangs around at full for much longer then drops quickly. It was still showing over full after about 150km last fill.
On previous vehicles this was a sign the fuel gauge sender was on the way out. On a Falcon I had it’d read full for ages then drop from 1/4 to empty in about 50km.
Other thing is I’m back priming the fuel after an overnight break. I’ve recenty replaced the primer bulb and vacuum hoses that were bad. It’s possible I’ve missed something, but could the fuel sender/pump failing allow fuel to drain back to the tank overnight?
TIA
