Hello guys i am hoping someone can help me with an issue i have been having for a few months.
I have a 2014 Hilux sr5 Invincible.
I have notice that my fuel gauge doesnt seem to read correctly.
let me try to be short and direct with what has been happening.
When i first bout the Hilux in May of last year. I was able to notice the gauge located on the dash was indeed working as it moved up and down ( reading correctly as it should) when i filled up it moved. as i drove over a period of time the needle would move down slowly as one would expect ( because its working as it should).
fast forward a few months to around December of last year 2017.
when i fill up the needle would go right up as it should. but now even after nearly 430kms on the dash after filling up, the needle never ever goes below half tank. EVER.
the computer reads on the dash as saying i have 130kms left to go before i run out of fuel.
even using torque app on my cell phone it reads that same amount as well.
So this leads me to believe something is either wrong with the needle on the dash, or maybe it is a problem with the float located inside the fuel tank?
How can i fix this issue.
( ive also notice that if i put in lets say, $50 or 60$ worth of fuel, the needle on the dash would move up at all. Nor would the computer reading on the dash move. heck, i can even up in $100 and thats when it may move a bit.
