Fuel gauge reading empty when tank is full
I have a 2003 986S purchased in the U.K. If the fuel gets low and 'Check Fuel' warning comes up and I then re-fuel to full, the gauge does not re-set when I drive off, and the 'fuel remaining' figure on the OBC continues to drop until it becomes blank (indicating dangerously low). Sometimes the gauge resets itself to where it should be some time later in the journey, but usually this doesn't happen until the next time I drive the car from cold.
Turning off the ignition and restarting, as recommended by the local OPC does nothing. Otherwise, they have no suggestions. Most likely suspect seems to be tank sender (sticking float?) or signal conditioning software. Could it be cables in tank mentioned already in this forum? Anyone else had this?
Many thanks for any help.
