Answer 1

I know exactly the answer for this one. becuase I just put in a new fuel pump in my truck. the "float" this thing that looks like a piece of wood (really its plastic) floats on the gas. like a bobber on a fishing pole. it slides up and down on this small metal rod. like a bead on a string. if you will. well at the end of that is the sencer that sends a message to your gages. "gauges" is some lanquages. that metal rod. is bent. so that the "bobber" gets stuck on it. and does not go all the way down.
If it were me. I would not take it all apart. I would just learn how many miles you drive for each tank of gas. then go fill up every 200 miles or what ever. Thats alot of trouble to go through to fix, such a little problem. When they put yuur gas tank in. some one accidently bent that "
rod" you can fix it. but. becareful. because the fuel lines will have gasoline in them. and you could get it in your eyes like I did. so put your goggles on this time. ok

Alright, your fuel float system is not properly adjusted. If you have the proper basic mechanical skills, go ahead. Remove the fuel pump connection and fuel tank, drain all the fuel into an unused bottle. Adjust the float and re-fit the tank. Re-connect the fuel pump connection and re-fill your petrol. Start the engine and check your gauge again.

To save LPG it needs to be cooled down and compressed to maintain it as a liquid. whether, there's a great stability in having a heavy LPG cylinder on your trunk via fact the burden would factor into gas intake. a sturdy attention would be using stee-carbon fibre cylinders. whether that's high priced. maximum hybrid petrol-lpg engine conversion gadgets makes use of the two gas at distinctive working cycle of the engine.
