    Default Fuel gauge has a mind of its own Vauxhall Nova L 1.0

    As above lads I stuck £30 in a few weeks back when I got the car first night and had just under half tank, few weeks later the fuel gauge says it's empty even though I haven't driven it anywhere? Put a tenner in 2 nights ago and now it's telling me I have no fuel is this a common issue and how could it be resolved?

    Sure am going to have to check this as there was defiantly fuel in her, might have to roll her forward see if there is a leak on the floor if so then I know there's a definant fuel leak

    Would the sender unit be located along the back on drivers side? Like a little filter of some sort or am I thinking of the totally opposite of what it actually is

    Sender unit is in the tank itself.
