Oil & Fuel bx 23 fuel guage not working

[shownuff]

tank was almost empty, i filled it with a long plastic funnel and the tank is now full but showing empty on the guage is there something i could have dis lodged with this funnel? or maybe a broken wire?

A couple of times in the past two years, after filling the tank on my BX-23, I have seen the fuel gauge drop to Empty then come back up to full. Perhaps an air bubble in one side of the tank? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

It was just a momentary thing -- maybe yours will start to respond if you drive around a bit, over some uneven ground and slosh the fuel around ... dunno, but good luck.

I usually shake my BX23 when filling up to dislodge air bubbles.
I've noticed though, if you are on the slightest incline, the guage doesn't read properly.
