Do you need to put a fuel gauge in your car?

Yes, sounds like you just need to fill up. This is a strange one. I thought a fuel gauge had to work from a float for the whole tanks as the amount of fuel used can vary alot over the use of 1 full tank due to changes in driving conditions that could take place.

Why does the fuel gauge only read half way up?

This is due to the 4wd system at the front. The float only reads/works on the top half of the tank, the rest is a calculated guess! When you fuel it, you need to register the float half way up otherwise it doesnt know you have fueled it. Crazy isnt it! This is due to the 4wd system at the front.

How long can you drive without a fuel gauge?

What happens when you put fuel in while still reading empty?

If the starter spins and Peugeot doesn’t start, it can be more difficult to solve the problem because of many possible reasons. Put ignition plugs out and check them. Check the pressure in the fuel rail. Take the additional ignition key from the unit because it’s possible that the first one is broken.

Why does my gas gauge keep pegging full?

The gas gauge might interpret voltage feedback from a dead sender as FULL or EMPTY, consequently pegging the gauge no matter the actual fuel level. Circuit Problems can cause the gas gauge to stop functioning normally.
