Hi there everyone,
Just got my mv6 manual back on the road after 18 months SORN and i have a few queries , any help welcome
1.How many miles do you guys/gals get out of a full tank of petrol at an average 25 mpg I believe 75litres is capacity?
2.My petrol guage and the dashboard DIS appear to be very dicky as I keep nearly running out of petrol,Where is the sensor located? Is it easy to change? Finally how much are they to replace?
Sorry for the silly questions, but with the car being of the road I have forgot how good/bad the cars economy was. Thanks ;)

The car will sup fuel like theres no tomorrow :) fill it up and dont let it get less than a quarter full. if youre the type who puts a fiver in every now and again, forget it and buy a diesel fiesta :y
-
so far 30 litres of petrol has lasted me about 17,000 miles ::)
-
Cant tell what quarter of a tank is because the guage isnt work properly,Any ideas where the sensor is?
-
Its in the fuel tank and is accessable from in the boot underneath the carpet,there is a silver metal circle which is kept on by 4 screws,this will get you to the tank

The sender unit will be in the fuel tank :y

Thats because your car runs mainly on LPG :y

Are the senders easy enough to replace once i have located it in the fuel tank? I can get one of ebay for £9.99 from a spares part place near Heathrow.Thanks for all the help ppl :)

So do I ;) I only advised the OP to keep a quarter tank as he 'keeps nearly running out' and he is obviously not as relaxed about it as you and I ;D

I know that feeling well, but its worth it when you roll on to the forecourt on fumes, stick another fiver in and drive away safe in the knowledge that you dont have to fill up for another 14 miles :y

Just fill it & use it for a few tanks full, it's probaly the float sticking if it's not been used for 18 months. :-/
