Fuel gauge failure.
« on: Yesterday at 21:43 »
My 2013 Bavaria 33 has a Volvo d1-20. The fuel gauge stopped working with no reading showing. The gauge, sender and wiring loom have been replaced. Still no reading. Any suggestions as to what it might be please.

I know it might sound a bit obvious, but I take it you've confirmed it's getting power..?

Even when it's working, the fuel gauge is very inaccurate, so I wouldn't worry too much.  You can estimate fuel usage from hours run.
