:roll: just when you think you got it beat.There she goes, aunt nelly bless her.So ive got fuel in tank about 25-30 quids worth definate,i can here the pump turning in the tank.So how has my gauge read less and less over the weekend.To the point were it now says ive got nowt left,yet there is still fuel in the tank.But nothing on dial no cracks or leaks in pipes,and it isnt coming out at the carbs.By the way my l.p.g. guage which also reads my petrol says ive got petrol aplenty!Just wondering if any had similar symtoms is it simply a blocked pipe?

Sorry mate what I know about motors you could fit on the back of a postage stamp.

I sure someone will be along with the right suggestion :D

One possible cause could be that the float on the sender unit
has a hole in it allowing it to fill with fuel and how it is full of
fuel the sender arm is not rising.
