Fuel Guage adjustment 110 CSW 1985

(1/3) > >>

CanIBeFrank:
Hi All,

Quicky for you, the fuel guage on my 1985 110 CSW (now 200TDI was 2.5N/A) shows just on the happy side of the red but is actually empty  :( as I've found out whilst driving across the border in Andora thinking I could save my self for the tax free fuel, but very nearly didn't make it ;)

How can  adjust to make it a little more acurate?

Thanks.

ChrisV8:
Only adjustment would be trial and error taking it out and bending the float lever wire up or down a bit I would think, they aren't adjustable per se.

CanIBeFrank:
Thanks Chris

Is there access to the float without having to take the tank off?

Yeah it should be on the nearside of tank. Do this with a empty tank or at least one where the fuel level is below the big hole you're about to make :kiss: Disconnect wiring and fuel line,  knock the retaining ring around inside the tabs, remove it along with the seal. You might end up needing a new seal and retaining ring (depends how grotty they are).

Thanks Saffy, I'll take a look next week.
