Ive recently noticed that my fuel gauge stalls about the 5 gallon mark and stays there for a couple of days, then suddenly dives to about 2.5 gallons :confused:

Is this a common fault ?

Would a later fuel tank sender from a classic V70 work with an 850 ?

Ive heard their a bit more accurate.

it does look a little tight it must be the G forces thats shoved the tank back lol i would check the straps and see if there is any movement in the tank if it cannot be lifted up
