Re: Problem When filling up fuel tank
Evening all,
well who would believe it they replaced the cluster and low and behold the prblem is still present, even the dealer could not belive what they were seeing. A new clustrer, new sensors and yet a tank with 68.1 on board was registering as having only 63 on board.
Then on a run across to SA over Easter we went from a refuel at Ararat to well across the Vic/Sa Border befor the indicator moved then it dropped in increments of two so clearly the problem is still present.
I rang Nissan and they were not that interested in the issue which I found very disappointing to say the least, this is a vehicle with issues from day one off the line and they dont seem to care at all. I wonder how they would feel if any product they purchased for this sort of investment was faulty.
So where to from here is the next question, well I am thinking a firm letter to Nissan on the matter and still trying to work with the local techs to solve the problem. At the end of the day its not a good endorsement for the Nissan brand but they dont seem to care at all about this.

Re: Problem When filling up fuel tank
Hi Alan,
Sounds to me like you might have a tank which was moulded incorrectly or there is a spacer ring missing from the sensor mounting.
Your symptoms of not having the indicator move until you have used quite a bit of fuel would tell me that the level probe was inserted too far into the tank such that the level when full was well above where it should be in relation to the sensor.
Discuss this possibility with your dealer and maybe have them replace the fuel tank as they have tried everything else.

I can't believe this has gone on for so long, you must be getting pretty frustrated.

Re: Problem When filling up fuel tank
This is ridiculous.
Surely they have to look at the wiring to the senders that may be sending a surge of some sort. Especially as you said since they plug the consult into it.
At least you had 3 hours of it reading full.

Have you asked if they are loading some upgraded (or downgraded) ECU program accidentally ?
