Fuel gauge always on

Post by Bossie »

Hi There

Just got myself a Patrol a while ago, but I notice the Fuel gauge stays on permanently.

I'ts a 98 4.5 GRX.

Is this a normal feature or is something wrong?

hahaha.... Didn't you know??...... Petrol Patrols are thirsty..... Thats why !!

Just kidding, we don't buy Patrols for fuel economy !! Is it the little orange reserve light that stays on, or do you mean the petrol gauge needle doesn't go towards the "Empty" when the engine is off and key in the off position?

Hi there.

Hopefully this one is not too thirsty as it has been chipped. I mean the petrol needle do not go to empty when engine turned off. The gauge do register correctly otherwise.
