Never.
Is this on the panel you repaired?

Happens on my 3.2 when I'm running on LPG ;) Gets really annoying when the orange light comes on mid journey even though you're running on fart juice ::)
-
Is they anyway these can be adjusted ?
Mine is all over the place when you have less then 30 ltrs in the tank.
Orange light on and off all the time
I know for a fact that you have a good 10 ltrs left when the gauge is below the empty mark and never reads more then about 60 ltrs when brimmed

I had trouble with the sender in the tank on ours which I managed to fix for free. My drawing skills are worse than the average 5-year-old, but if you get the sender out of the tank you might be able to see what I'm trying to show in the sketch and words here: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=75153.msg1015963#msg1015963
I'm pretty sure that the LED came on whenever ours dropped out, so this may be different to your problem freecall.
I would imagine that you could 'recalibrate' an under or over-reading gauge sender by bending the rod that the float is mounted on, in the appropriate direction. Might take a bit of iteration to move it enough but not too much.

That looks easy enough :y
I'll put it on my list of things to do ;)

i only replaced the flex board as there was no communication to the mid display. replaced from a 96 mig, still have the gauges from the other dash, could not find one from a 2.0, only found one from a 3.0.
