as above.
i had just put in £43 optimax, around 50odd litres
the fuel guage is only showing half full.
have opened cap again, given it a good boot, but it just stays at half way line
any idea's?
I have zero'd the mileage so as i can see if it does its normal 155 odd miles.
then will take to scoobaru garage and get fixed under warrenty.
I just hope they dont give me one of those dahi****su square oldfolk mobiles to run round in while they fix it.
Showells in lye/stourbridge !

My WR1 did this once, filled tank to brim guage only went up to approx half way but about 20 mins later it went up to full, been ok since (four months ago).

No ideas sorry but also got a 03 sti £45 fills mine to the brime with full gauge & i get about 220 miles to a tank all types of driving.

My old P1 did this , next tank it cleared it's self. I should'nt worry to much, just go on your mileage.

220 miles to a tank ?
jeez im lucky to get 155 and thats with the wifey driving it mostley.
are you doing 220 miles over a couple of days? or over 7 days ?

There are two sensors in the tank, one is fecked. If it doesn't correct itself, get it booked in. Once the fuel falls below half the needle will move down.

over about 10 days....... alot of cold driving as i use it to get to the train station every morning & home at night, upset if i don't get 200 miles to a tank. I have ppp not sure if that would actually help fuel consumption or make it worse.

I fill mine up and a few hours later I`m fillin it up again

yep I seem to have quite a few days where I fill it more than once. quite scary really (but fun)

Tiredeyes - Mine did this once too. After a while (about quarter of a tank) it moved up and has been fine ever since. I too filled it right up to the brim....I think it is just a bit of a problem they have if you fill the tank to the absolute max. Its never done it since.

Tiredeyes

cheers 4 feedback, i will leave it untill i fill up again.
if it shows only half again i will book it in.
i will get them to have a look at fuel consumption,
as the wife drives it for around 15 miles a day, then i use it at weekend, but i dont cane it everywhere.
it managed 144 miles to £43 pounds worht of optimax.
i am thinking this is not right?
its only dun 14K miles 53 plate.
and the wife dont cane it either. she has to wear larger "with wings" when she does, as she pees her thongs !
