Has anyone ever had a problem where the gas gauge doesnt register the fuel level and if so what do i do to fix the problem. I just noticed it today when I was out riding my kymco agility 50. There is fuel in the tank
-
Was it almost empty? My gauge stays full for ages then once it begins to drop it drops in a day or 2 at most. Theyre not the best for accuracy.
-
the ball in the tank is sticking and your not geting a good reading.

..wowww...don't I wish!!!!

The float comes out with a simple 1/4 turn lock ring. If that is the problem.
Check all the wiring first. The gauge is steel inside so they do tend to rust out from Ethanol fuels.

Ok, so i may not get 2 days out of it.
Normally once it starts to drop i know i have enough fuel to get to work and back for a day and will need to refill the next on my way home at the latest. If im out playing after work tho it will need filled that day.
-
My gauge is the same the first 2 - 3 days it will stay on full then over the next 2 days slowly start moving down towards empty I would say with my scoot still restricted I'm easily getting over 100mpg.....

Even tho mine only has 2 speeds, stopped or WOT, i still get 5 days commute to work from a full tank, 19-20 miles/day minimum, 100 miles for £5.50, cant complain about that ;D
TBH i didnt notice any significant fuel consumption increase after derestricting. Just more speed and more smiles :)

155 mpg at the last check.

...wheres the math??
:P

I took it the local kymco dealer and they told me what had happened to cause this problem. The problem was simply put the float got caught up in the tank so it stayed on empty even while the tank was completely full of 91 octane gas. Thank you everyone for all of your insight as to be what could have been the cause, it was a great help when i told the technician what it could have been.
-
My fuel gauge is f***ed too. :p
For the first 2 liters, it stay at max, then over one liter it goes to the bottom, and when it is in the red, i still have 2 liters to go. :p
So it has come to that i look more at the odometer than at the fuel gauge, when i'd like to know how much fuel i've got left. ;)

Saw a CL post for a ppl and the guy said it costs $1.50 to fill up. Yeah right, takes a little more than a gallon. Last time I checked a gallon was over $3.00

:o !!!!!!!!
For me it costs $8.5 to fill the tank with 4,2 liters (i usually never run it dry) :/
-
2 bucks a LITER? Wow...
-
Where?
-
Costs me £4.80-£5:00 to fill my tank, about $7.80-$8:00. More than 50% of that cost is taken in tax by the government. You guys in the states pay way less for fuel than most, maybe all, European countries. We should get it cheap in Scotland cos we pull it out the seabed off our coasts, but we dont. Maybe once we get independence and all become rich we might tho..........hooe so cos those Bugatti's use a lot of fuel ;D

Depending on the time you refuel, it can cost all from $1,8 to $2,3, but the 1,8 is only if you refuel at 5 or 6 monday morning, as this is almost where there are fewest cars on the road and the gas stations have to compete heavily to get the cars to refuel at them. The priciest moment are 7:30-9:40 in the morning and 13:45-17:30 in the afternoon, as this is when there are most cars on the road, and they know that the costumers are problably late for work or have to get home to cook for their family, so the costumers haven't got time to drive to their competitors to search for the cheapest fuel. ;)
Fuel is costly my friend ;)
-
I tell people here all the time that bitching about fuel cost is stupid! Milk costs more. In fact Gas is about the CHEAPEST things per gallon in the US. Even a Gallon of Coca Cola costs more than a gallon of gas.
Acetone 14.00
battery acid 10.00
water 3.00
milk 4.50
turpentine 11.00

Luckily my mother pays for the milk. But wtf, that a gallon water costs $3 :o
Then our medium sized pools in Toys'r'us would cost almost $5000 just to fill with water, if you spill nothing. Do you live in the middle of a dessert er something? xD

Bottled water here is the biggest thing since sliced bread. The Premium brands like "Poland Springs" or Evian sell for 1.00-2,00 for 16oz bottles. Cheap brands sell for 2.00 a gallon. This is in Fl. Surrounded by water... Odly... If you want to fill your swimming pool, you call the city, and they bypass your meter. So you can get 3-4 households worth of water for free. While everyone else is paying 75-100 a month for REAL usage. The US does some fu(ked up sh*t

My bad, forgot to convert km to miles. Make that 95 mpg.

You've been listening to Alex Salmond too much....
North Sea oil can't be used to make Petrol by itself it's not suitable, and you won't get rich.
Remember when he was talking up relying on the banking sector like Ireland and Iceland.......
-
I dont need to run my Bugatti on North Sea oil, i can run it on the proceeds from the sale of the oil.
7th wealthiest nation on earth rooks when we split, no idea where you will be? 20-30 somewhere? ;)
-
Only 12% of the wealth of the UK comes from Scotland (including the declining NS oil and gas) and you get 10% of the direct finance from central govt (plus some extra for such things as armed forces) for 9% of the population, you want to split, go right ahead, you'll soon be worse off than you are now! ;)
I'll hire a JCB and dig the ditch! ;D
-
I'll respectfully dispute those figures, in fact Scotland contributes far more to the UK economy than that, we contribute more to the UK economy than we take, why do you think they are so worried we will leave?
We produce 40% of the UK renewables target NOW and hope to provide 100% of Scotlands electricity by 2020. After that we will ship the surplus down to you and charge you for the privillage :D
Our economy has faired a whole lot better than Englands has recently, we have a better health service, more top universities, some of the best conditions in the world for the growing renewables market and we still have at least 40-50 yrs of oil and gas to extract. I think we'll do just fine :)

Its ok, we already started preparations to rebuild Hadrians Wall, should be finished in time for 2014 ;D
1. Overall Wealth: An independent Scotland would be ranked 6th in the OECD in terms of GDP per head, compared to the UK's sixteenth place (in 2010).
2. Oil: There is up to 24 billion barrels remaining in the North Sea. Such a figure equates to a wholesale value of some £1.5 trillion in today's prices.
3. Renewables: Scotland has around 25 percent of Europe’s potential offshore wind and tidal energy, and a tenth of Europe’s wave power potential.
4. Food & Drink: The latest food and drink export figures show exports are at an all time high of £5.4 billion, and growing.
5. Public Finances: In terms of our public finances, Scotland is better off than the UK as a whole to the tune of £510 for every man, women and child in Scotland in the most recent year (2010/11).
6. Education: Scotland has five of the top 200 universities in the world.
7. We would be in full control of ourselvea and be run by a party we want, not as it is now where we are under Tory control even tho they got about single figures in the Scottish elections. We just would NEVER vote Tory. We had a large Lib-Dem vote in ay areas but that collapsed after they joined the Conservatives in their ConDem project.
We want to leave, many English would glady let us go, our government wants to leave but your government is the only one trying to scare us into staying.
Guess we'll see what happens come 2014, a lot can happen before then so who knows what the outcome will be. Maybe the US will invade before then and steal all the oil anyway they seem to do that everywhere else....... :P
