15 is about what, just about 2 gallons? Unless youre on the edge of the tank it should give you between a quarter and empty. 10 in mine takes it to the edge of the "light".

Not parked on a slope??

i just put ten quid in my car on the way home and i was on the red for 20miles, now its on just under a quarter of a tank, could be a faulty sender unit, put 30 quid in and see where it ends up, if it doesnt go atleast between a quarter and a half then your sender must be faulty :y:
