Fuel Gauge Problem

[TimP]

Hi All. I have a B3000 and have recently developed a problem with the fuel gauge.

It has been indicating a completely full tank, in spite of it actually being close to empty.

I don't know if it's a problem with the sensor/float inside the tank, or the gauge itself.

Any tips or suggestions on how to diagnose, and repair, the problem?

Thanks !

The workshop manual for your machine should tell you how to check the fuel level sensor resistance vs a reference value. If you machine is like my L3240, your fuel guage is part of the electronic instrument and not individually replacable (i.e., mucho $$$s).
