the mrs ka seems to be stopping at just under 1/4 when infact its empty and starts cutting out, so for some reason isnt showing any lower and showing fuel light.

im going to change the fuel filter as this might be full of crap now but any ideas why its doing this, its a 2006 so only just out of warranty will ford still fix this under goodwill

cheers

You can only give the goodwill thing a go.
I can only assume it's been like this since new ?, and that something is either restricting/stopping the float from falling all the way, or it was a bit bent when installed, either way the cure is to bend the arm on the float.

no its been totally fine since new, about 3 weeks after warranty run out it happened its deff something to do with the float etc, looks like its attached to the pump so not sure how easy it is to change

will have a look see if its getting stuck somewhere

I think, but certainly not sure by any means the pump can be got out easy through a panel under rear seat.

Did you manage to sort your fuel gauge problem,i have the same problem and was wondering if you cured yours...

B16JUS

not yet its deff related to not having fuel so its either the gauge not working or the sender going to change the fuel filter next week first then inspect the float see if there is any obvious problems
