It also applies to the GT3, which for some strange reason uses the same tank.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So I've collected car after having battery replaced. Fuel gauge light just come on so put £30 in... Restarted car but gauge light still on and trip says --- either all my fuel has leeked out or I have yet another issue? Anyone had the same?
This question comes up on a regular basis. The gauge on the 4wd models only operates on the top half of the tank as the tank is saddle shaped. After that it is calculated by the DME. £30 is probably just shy of reaching the gauge.
It'll probably have righted itself by the time that you've read this! It happens to mine (996 C2 MY 2003) if I let the fuel level fall too low - then it just corrects itself after a while.
Yes, I have exactly the same problem. Unless I fill the car right up, the fuel guage doesn't seem to register a change. I haven't done anything about it - I just got used to it and keep it filled up.
I have a 996 C4S (picked it up a few months ago) and discovered the same issue. I can get the fuel sensor looked at according to my local specialist, so i may do the in the future but so far I just need to make sure i stick 40 quids worth at least on an empty tank or the fuel does not register.
I remember reading somewhere that it's only the RHD GT3. The LHD version has a long range fuel tank. Sounds like it depends upon where one puts one's column (as the actress said to the bishop).
