fuel pump problem - heeeelp!

[pjw]

my fuel gauge indicates half full when the tank is empty.


i have had a look at the plug in the top of the fuel pump, pulled it, and the gauge drops to 0. so its not the gauge.

could someone have fitted the wrong pump and sender? has anyone else has this and fixed it?

is there any point to be removing the pump, and if so can i just pull it out from inside the car?

grr

isnt the sender unit built in with the pump? sure you can get them from the top under them bungs, then again i may be wrong, its been a while since i played with a saxo!

Yeah its all in one just not sure if it will come out in a oner without dropping the tank.

had a look today but wasnt sure about playing with the fuel lines..

[wheat_vtr]

ive definately taken one out, but cant remember for the life of me if i did it from the top!! not much help i know!

The fuel lines shouldnt be a problem, just mark them up so you know which is feed and which is return

[saxo-parts]

yes it will come out from on top, under a circular bung beneath the back seat

when disconected remember to have a full tank of feul or it does not registar properly found this out when a mate had the same problem and went to fit an after market gauge it tells on them to fill the tank up before fitting so i would asume all gauges are the same :P

how do you mean? do you think thats whats happened - somones had it disconnected while theres only been half a tank in it?
