Possible solution to my Fuel sender woes
This morning I was driving to work and my C36 finally puttered to a stop and ran out of fuel.
My gas gauge would only read half full and it would not allow fuelling any further so I assumed the tank was full even though it was only reading half.
Boy was I wrong! After a colleague drove out to me with some fuel I drove to the gas station and filled up completely! I'm guessing the sending unit floats were stuck or jammed.
I'm hopeful the problem is resolved but we'll see next time I gas up.
On a side note I drove a 2008 Infiniti G37 the other day and man does that thing ever get loose! Turn the traction control off and hold on tight!
