HELP - Fuel Gauge Fluctuation

[JackStrong]

Hi,

 

Well thought I could live with my fuel gauge fluctuating but now its on empty red light the whole time with dte just flashing. Really annoying because am having to predict when Its going to run out.

 

I have seen a guide that says the fuel sensor needs cleaning with a q tip. http://g35driver.com/forums/g-spot/2439 ... ess-6.html

 

However I have no idea where or how to get to it, any guides specifically to the 350z that shows step by step ?

 

I have the 350z service manual also but under FL there is nothing on how to get to the fuel sensor in the car. How do i get to it etc ?

 

Cheers for the help,

 

I think once Ive figured it out I will do a video step by step guide.

Look forward tot he guide mate, mine has started doing this as well - usually if I go below 1/4 tank switch off and switch back on it wont go out of the red unless I stick some petrol in...

Well put 30 litres in just now and to be fair it did go up to about half. Then turned off the ignition and tried again....fail... went down to an 8th of a tank

 

Need a guide to find the hatches, anyone ?

Use the slow free download option.

Extract to folder and open any PDF then select QUICK REFERENCE INDEX on left panel to make navigation easier.

Let us know if it fixes it, mine is a little eratic at very low readings.

PS. Take fire and spillage precautions.
