i have a sort of the same problem when i fill the tank up the obc reads 49.5L and the fuel gauge reads 3/4 tank i believe it should read something like 63L when full? is this a sender issue or????? thanks in advance ~JOHN BANNER~

The Bentley says the three connections to the fuel level sender have varying electrical characteristics based on fuel level. Looking at the terminal on the sender, left is pin 31, middle is pin G and right is pin W. Float full: 31 to G=3.2+/-0.7ohms, Float empty, 31 to G=71.7+/-2.3 ohms. low fuel warning is the W to 31 connection , closed at low level. Good Luck.

thanks keith i'll give this a try ~JOHN BANNER~
