Fuel gauge has started to play up. no mater how much petrol i put in it will only rise to half way on the red. So there is movement. But not accurate.? Thought it may be the voltage stabilizer. So put a new one in. No change.
If any one could help that woulb be great.

Hi i changed the voltage stabilizer (gsf) on the alternator and checked the 10v thingy on rear of dash. It was pumping out 9.35v. Only the two outer prongs are conected to dash didnt looklike the middle ones ever been conected. No havent changed the sender its next on the 2do list.
