Fuel gauge/ Trip comp malfunction?


boleh

Recommended Posts

Was running low on petrol so reluctatnly refilled at a nearby BP $tation.

So just put in $10 of fuel just enough to get to my favorite petrol station. After driving off, the fuel gauge did not budge a little (6.7l should move the needle abit), and the trip computer did not reset

Is there a minimum threshold of refill before it gets registered by the system?

Hey man! How have you been?

Yeah, there should be a significant increase in volume measurement for the trip meter to reset. Basically to have some physical movement of the needle to reset it. This is, I think, to prevent variation of the fuel gauge meter during the day; and hence the trip meter will not reset accidentally.

I refilled 17L today to the top, being a Tuesday, and it did reset.

Hmm not sure V Power is the best filled out there. I stopped my purchase in Shell long time ago. BP and Caltex for me now.
