Holmesy97 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 When my tank get to the last couple of bars on my petrol metre there's no petrol light coming on? Any ideas what this could be? But when I have the ignition on it comes on then goes off with everything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laumk7 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Wouldn't recommend running it that low as to test the fuel light though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true Although, admittedly it was a diesel and Peugeot 406, there is quite a reserve: rather than imminent lack of fuel, the moment that light comes on. Through a monumental error of leaving my wallet behind, I once drove for 90 miles with the light on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through a monumental error of leaving my wallet behind, I once drove for 90 miles with the light on The fuel gauges are hideously unreliable on the old Peugeots though. The 405 can easily go all the way down to 1/4 and then a few minutes later rises back up to 1/2, without changing road level or anything. Just random!! Fortunately though it always reads higher than the level actually is, rather than the other way around where it shows a quarter of a tank and then you suddenly splutter to a halt!
