Z3 Fuel Problem!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   When I go to fill the Z3 up with petrol, it only fills to the 3/4 way mark on the fuel level indicator, even though the fuel pump cuts indicating that it is full!  This has only started to happen, and is now a regular occurrence!
Anyone got an ideas what may be causing this problem?

	Most likely a dodgy fuel guage sender unit.

	Geoff...pm me your chassis no and I'll check TIS later and see if it's listed as a fault for your model.

	The fuel sender is a fairly common problem on the Z3, The dealers can easily fix it though.
