Fuel gauge dodgy?

Post by T-Kaddy »

Hi all. Does anyone know if a wheelchair conversion on the Maxi Life means a fuel tank change? I ask because my fuel gauge only reads 3/4 full when it's brimmed. Unless there's maybe a history of gauge issues. Long shot - amongst its magical abilities can VCDS change the calibration?

Hi,
My Brotherhood conversion has a stainless steel tank fitted, low profile, probably most others have similar as well.
Sticker on owner's manual says
Fuel Tank: Approx 55l including 15l reserve.

What the reserve bit means I am not sure !?
55l ~ 12gallon

VCDS video !

Hi Petrev, thank you for that. My book says 60l so looks like a change then. Impressed by the VCDS video, I might give that a go. If it works I owe you 😁
