Hi all,

Its definately not normal, and suggests you have a sticky fuel sender. It may free up over time as the car is new, but I have not heard of this on a new motor. Common on old ones or accident damaged cars.

I had that on my focus, I drove over a transit bumper, and it stuffed the FSU, it resolved itself within a few months, but it irritated me till then!
On a new car though, you should get it looked at under warranty - shouldnt cost anything as its an "inherent fault"

Absolutely not normal - try a different dealer
