My clocks recently screwed up, now they are working again. Temperature outside seems to affect it, when it gets really cold, or over the summer when we had that heatwave it packed up. Recently when its been real hot in the day, then it got cold and snowy all of a sudden they packed up, now they work again... strange, but leave them be for a few weeks and use your odometer to keep an eye on how much fuel you have!

Likely hood is that its the sender mate, what generally goes on them. My sender is on and off too. But vaux no longer service the part apparently, dunno if thats true or not.

as said it is possible to do it with the tank on but it is extremly fidlely on the gsi as you have to get the swirl pot bit in aswell lol but it can be done:thumb:
