help needed

[wolf666]

iv just bought a 2.8i cappa and it has a slight starting problem on the fuel side and now my fuel gauge is reading empty and i had half a tank of fuel in it and only traveled 30 miles tops. does any one have any ideas on what it could be.

[ann_capri]

try the fuel filter as they tend to clog up when was it last changed and check if the fuel pump is working as conection's tend to rot,

[lee_capri]

it's also quite common for fuel gauge to give radiom readion,mine does and most do as they are old now

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]
