Given that I had the Bentley manual and the TSB, it was a very easy job; maybe a 2 on a scale of 1-10. The manual and the TSB told me everything that I needed to disconnect and how to disconnect those things. The toughest bit is unscrewing the ring that holds the sending unit in the fuel tank. It takes a special tool, so you'll either have to get the tool or get creative.

Just to add what I'm learning about this issue, which my car has as well (full = 5/8 reading), I read that there is a fuel tank vent valve can be bad or the fuse for it (E8??) has burned out.
I have also discovered that my tank wasn't totally full when the pump clicked off automatically. I had to dribble in the last gallon or two to get it to fill up and raise the needle to 7/8. However, I still have a problem with an accurate reading. Just once since I replaced my sending unit and had it calibrated by my mechanic (requires a PST tool) has the car read 4/4 when it was full. Grrr! One other issue is that when I am at 1/4, the low fuel light comes on brightly. Seems a little premature, even though one should not run to empty in our cars (remaining fuel keeps the fuel pump cool and from overheating). I have yet to check my fuses, but I just might go home tonight and make a bee-line for the garage to check this out. This problem has always frustrated me about owning my car! |
On my Boxster the auto shut-off occurs at approx. 7/8 full. On level ground if I run about two more squeezes into the tank it will actually go past the "full" line. I try to keep the tank over 1/4 full since I don't trust the fuel gage. Recently I did run it down till the near empty light began to glow. When I filled it the car took 13.4 gallons.

Fuel Gauge Reading
got delivery of the 98 with 1/2 tank. Driving and gauge steadily going down. When the red light came on, I filled the tank with gas. The gauge never indicated a full tank but read about 1/8 and after 30 miles, red light came back on. I know the gas went into the tank.
With the Durametric, I can get the gauge to read 1/2 and full, so I guess its the sender? Why did it work until I filled the tank. I did swervy thing like warming the tires to see if I could shake it loose, but no. |
