if you find out let me know, mine stops at 1/4 full even when the van is sitting empty at the roadside and im walking to the garage with a fuel can in me hand (in the rain). i reckon theyre designed that way for the british market. revenge for dresden !!!!!!!!! it doesnt get that low anymore.
by the way did you get any bigger circumference alloys and tyres ? i lowered the revs with 225/75/15s and did preston and back on £20 last weekend "gathering off the hill" (200 miles) sitting at 56-60 mph, thats more like it !

eyup duck,sounds like youre a bit better off than before,i changed the box for a 4 speed petrol unit,did it on me tod in a day and the box was only £50,her in doors went newquay in it for a fortnight with a box trailer that ive just built her,and it was full of crap!.sound aza pound doin around 55-60 mph all the way and she reckons it was as quiet as a mouse,used about £55-60 which isnt too bad at all,but i might still fit the granada alioys i got,theyre 15",n i got um for £20 off e-bay,so i might bang them on with some 195/80/15's or something to give me a bit more as it still seems to go like stink so i think theres still plenty of torque to be exploited.............................regards
