|
|
I still have no idea how the fuel gauge reads on my 2010 Grand Vitara. When I fill up, I can add another 2 gallons after the shutoff at the pump. Then it drops within 20 miles to 3/4 reading but will go back up as I drive beyond that. The range reading is all over the place as the tank empties, sometimes going up or down 50 miles. Is there an adjustment to the gauge readings? |

Sounds like a sender problem to me, strange you can get 2 gallons in after shut off, I`m lucky to get another litre in my 2009 gv, my gauge doesnt move from full until ive done around 50 or so miles |

A year later and the fuel gauge and trip range still are inaccurate. I can fill up and then the range shows 280 miles when the mpg is 23 and the tank holds enough for 350 miles. As I drive the range goes up but the fuel gauge goes down to 3/4 and stays there for a bit then moves back up to full for a while. If I empty the tank it shows empty when it still has 3 gallons. But at least I understand the quirky thing. The car is great and takes abuse well while having a lot of creature comforts. |
