Fuel Gauge Issue - Any Ideas??

Heya,

So my 96 C200 fuel gage is working BUT it is registering as 1/2 tank as the empty mark. Turn car off goes to half tank, turn car on and will go to almost full which would be correct as i would have around 1/2 tank.

My Question is how do I get it to calibrate from empty again ? We tried pushing needle down manually and then turning car back on but it automatically goes back to how it was or just stays at empty and wont move..

any suggestions???

Thanks !

Yep, live with it or change the fuel level sensor.
