Hi
The fuel gauge in my A1 always seems to read low.
During restoration, it received a new sending unit, I can't recall if the gauge (a SW- 505C) is NOS or used.
Despite it being full (looking down the wide mouth it is at the base of the filler tube), it still reads about a half tank (with vehicle running in garage, I know with my other cars, they tend to read more when in actual use...due to pressure?).
When using fuel, the gauge acts normally...it goes down.
So...
-Are these gauges every very accurate?
-Can one adjust the sending unit?
