[QUOTE="OL Yeller, post: 305255, member: 4840"] Update 3: Was out for a run on Sunday and just as the fuel gauge got to 1/3 of a tank, the gauge went to E again. Drove to the local Shell Station, dumped in the Techron and 50 Litres of Premium (so there was still 20L left in the tank). Drove the 1 km home and the light didn't go out. Checked the DIC and had code P1431. Cleared the codes and the gauge went back up to full. Did a bit of research on the Interwebs and found out that after a while the sending unit connections corrode and it loses connection...up to 2003 you do not have to drop the gas tank (and everything else behind the doors) to fix the issue. Just remove or burn off the fuel in the tank, take off rear tire, a sheild and there's the pump. From what I can gather, it should take around an hour and a half to replace. Sounds like a job I am willing to take on if need be. If the Techron doesn't do the trick, I will replace the fuel pump and the sending unit while i am in there...no sense doing the job twice because you know that will give out after as well. Stay tuned... [/QUOTE]
