Title: Any lpg experts? Fuel gauge stuck on full
Post by: Jamie_stafford on November 19, 2015, 02:20:31 PM
Hello all, my lpg gauge is constantly saying I have a full tank, ive been doing it on milage but that's getting annoying, would it be just a sender unit? And where would it be?

Is it the small square indicator on the dash that has 4 green lights an Amber and a red for empty that is reading full?
On the tank there is a grey(probably) 8" long box where fill and supply gas pipes enter the tank there is a guage here as well this one should give a more accurate reading.....or is it this one that is constantly reading full?

The one on the dash of our ZJ has always read full too, which is why I thought the LPG system was non functional when we bought it (it was empty!) :banghead:
Apparently the senders get stuck really easily.


I realise as I type this that that is in no way helpful though  :003:

Yes it's the indicator on the dash, always showing 4 green lights, I have searched for info on Google but I have no idea what system I have?

fuel guage using the green lights may require resetting to that mode

Hmmm, if having LPG enables me to do the 550 miles a week that I currently do in a 4.0 Jeep rather than a little econobox, then I'm more than happy to put up with the (as of yet non-existent) downsides! :003:

To (mis) quote Monty Python, that's not a debate, it's just the automatic gainsaying of another persons argument.....no it isn't...yes it is....

Have LPG on the WK and very happy with it thank you.....that smug feeling when I fill it up for £35 is hard to beat. I KNOW I would cringe every time I put £100 in the petrol tank otherwise. I get a small reduction on the road tax and the MOT emissions test is a joke on LPG.

What sort of LPG system have you got? On some systems that means there is a fault somewhere and on one in particular i know of (BRC Just) it means the ECU is FUBAR but only if it's the upper 3 LEDs in the gauge.

Some photos of the switch and the installation would be helpful here. ;)
