[QUOTE="mginty, post: 607330, member: 4155"] I don't drive my van often and I've noticed that I always seem to be empty when I get back in so I did a proper scientific experiment ( :lol: ) Filled up to just up to 3/4 and took photo of gauge & mileage: 34413 Went to get MOT checkover (yes I know doesn't need it but still...) Got van back and guage showing as empty and mileage: 34435 So in 22 miles I've done 3/4 tank! I can't smell petrol anywhere (no more than 'usual' in the garage) and there doesn't seem to be a leak. The seal in the filler cap is brittle so could it be evaporating here? Or could the sender be flaky? Don't think it's this as when I fill up it displays. Any ideas anyone? If I rock the van I can hear fuel sloshing - any tips on how to check what's in the tank? thanks [/QUOTE]
