Dodgy Fuel Guages

EVL370 · 06-10-2010, 11:39 PM

no not yet. Got a guy comin tomorrow to check it... if all goes well i'll be shopping for a Z roadster this month!!!

and hopefully with no fuel gauge problems!!

well after filling up, the next day I went for a drive and it appears the final LED has lit up again?

i have no idea what's going on.

the LED is not an issue in the big scheme of things cos after 70-80kms you will be on to the 2nd LED anyways!

The 03 G35 I had about 6 months ago had the same issue with the fuel gauge not reading full. It was a combo of the some fuel filler hose that Nissan issued a TSB for and the sending units. So aggravating...

My final LED is fine now? WTF?

tao168 · 06-25-2010, 05:32 AM

i have the last 1/4 of my leds out, weird

My Z was not driven for almost 3 weeks and was left sitting in the garage with a 3/4 full tank. The next time I refilled, I found the last led was not working. This is the first time it has done this. However, the next morning it's working again.

Ravoz · 06-26-2010, 02:04 AM

when it does that, its basically on its way out.

Happened to me also. Nissan has the sensor for me so I just need to take the car in.

Majestik · 06-26-2010, 02:35 AM

Im now at 3000km. When I had my 09 370Z I had already started getting fuel light issues at the same number of kms.
I read somewhere that it was related to fueling with Shell Optimax so I have never filled my 2010 370z with it.
So far all my LEDs are still working..

For me if i know I won't be using the car for awhile on a business trip I fill the car up. This way the last part of the fuel sensor remains submerged in the fuel. I just got back from South America on a 2.5week trip and all the dots light up... If i didn't top the tank up before the trip i'm sure it would have been out...

Mr370z · 07-11-2010, 09:37 AM

filled up the car for the first time on friday... all LED's are working so far!

Lemers · 07-11-2010, 11:15 AM

Last fill up the last 2 didn't light up at first. The sencond one finally lite up later that day but it's been about 3 fill up since the last LED lit up. Does Nissan have a real fix for it or will they just replace the sensor with the same type that will end up having the same problems?

Mine was fine for the first 5,000km. Then one LED failed to light, then the second. I have had my fuel sensor replaced twice now under warranty due to the same problem. The last LED failed to light again today when I filled up.
