Default fuel gauge problem

ive noticed since having my impreza the gauge never seems to move much
ive got lockwood white dials already fitted would this be a foctor?
when i put £20 in of super the gauge only moves about as much as if i put £10 in why?
and it never drops much either?
do all scoobys not have red fuel light as ive looked closely at the dash and i dont see one

What year is it...??

Most have a low fuel light, but some need the tank to be filled for the gauge to realise whats going on.....

Dont think mine has a low warning light mate.
If you think your old 200sx drank the juice, welcome to scooby ownership
If the dial isnt moving then i think when the white dials were put on something broke or is blocking the needle.
Garth sorted your boost out?

has it had an uprated fuel pump fitted that you know of?
It is easy to bend the fuel sender that sits in the tank when replacing a fuel pump, this could also be causing your problem.

I would first of though remove the dash instrument surround facia and just check that the fuel dial is fitted correctly. Iirc the gauge dial will fit in between some lugs (been a while since I did mine) so you need to make sure that it sits flush.
