Default fueling problem

hello everyone.


So i seem to be having some weird fuel problems my fuel gauge hasn't every read right when the needle hits the first black like above the red the car is out of fuel, But as of a few nights ago the needle has been jumping all over the place last night the car stopped when the needle was just under half way. Anyway i filled it up and it ran fine but it keeps doing it when the needle is allover the place.the other problem is that the car every now and then keeps jumping back and forward like its choking then it cuts out and finds it hard to start again its only doing it when the fuel gets low.


Any idea what i can do to fix it ?

I think it's your filter Conor. Jonno probably didn't change it for ages and it's been stood. Probably full of all sorts.
