Does your speedometer works? This behavior also happens when the speedo is disconnected from the transducer. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

^^^^ because the fuel guage "damping" circuitry is built into the speedo itself
Mine went wrong some time back, so when the fuel level got to about 3/4 tank the guage would drop down to not much. I bypassed the speedo wiring so the guage runs directly off of the sender unit now. OK when you drive along it flips around like an old series 2 guage, but at least its accurate. Might try and graft in a Series 3 damper unit if I can find one. |
