Fuel float stuck
Fuel float stuck
Last night my Fuel float was stuck for a solid 10 minutes...
I fueled up ~25L of fuel, and my fuel guage still read the same as it did before filling, it began to rise after 10 minutes of driving.
Wondering if anyone else had this problem, hopefully it's the last time i see this.

Just a precautions, I have been hearing stories of the instrument cluster blacking out, not displaying fuel, dead pixels. =\

I remember way back when the 3IS first came out, there were a couple of people who had some wonky stuff going on with the F Sport cluster, but I haven't seen anything since then (until now).
I guess this is where an extended warranty could come in handy.

When it happened my distance to empty was still the same. I am leaning more towards the actual fuel float being stuck or something. The Fuel level did start to rise after 10 mins or so... The fuel rose from mid to full over about 3 seconds, as well as the distance to empty at the same time. Thought it would be an instant kind of thing... we'll see if this pops again next fuel up.

id be very surprised if these cars had a physical float at all. I would expect some sort of ultra sonic sensor or something. Wonder if anyone has access to that information?
