sounds like the fuel gauge is broken or the fuel pump isnt mounted right.

fring1

the gauge is ok wen it gets to just below half its about £65 to get it full again. il take the pump out and have a look and change the filter, anything to look for on the pump to tell if it is mounted wrong?

The sock will have crud in it if its fooked

Deffo fuel gauge. £70 to fill it normally

id say judging on the ablve posts that your fueling issues may be because your low on fuel and the gauge is not reading correctly if it costs that much from half!
