Morning, Morning,

Hope I posted in the right section, have already looked in the archive.Wiki.

Since owning the van (1985, Lesiure Drive 1.9 petrol DG) I have only been able to fill the petrol tank to about £30 from the red. The old corroded tank has now been replaced with all fuel, breather hoses and filler neck but still the petrol pump cuts out at £30! I dream of having a full tank of petrol and not having to plot journeys from one petrol station to another.

Can anyone help, is it the expansion tanks, what could be preventing me from getting a full tank?

Thanks in advance.

£30 will be about 1 side's worth I guess ? So it could be a breather or balance bar issue ?

Ian.

Many Thanks Ian

Maybe you've found really cheap fuel??

this is a problem i had with my car,try leaving fuel nozzle part way out the filler neck.its sort of a blowback thing where fuel nozzle thinks your tank is full.

Problemo solved at last, I replaced the printed circuit board and Bobs your sausage the fuel guage now reads correct, plus my main beam light also works.
