Is there a way of re-calibrating a fuel strip? Mine over reads consistently by c.40miles. On testing it I ran out of fuel at 206miles a few weeks back. Computer said I had 38miles to run and the fuel warning light was on. I didn't and ran out - no major issue as I had some extra with me in a can.
I presumed it meant the fuel strip was knackered, a known common fault, but have since been told if the fuel strip is knackered I won't get anything. I fill up and it goes to full and the computer gives me a range around the 200 mark. All sounds good but then I can do 60 or so miles and nothing changes. Still says c.200 for range and fuel gauge shows at full. Beyond 100miles the fuel gauge starts to drop but I know now that I will be out around 200 miles.
No fault codes, I asked Studley's to check.
Any wisdom appreciated as I was resigned to just running on the trip! It's a 2009 GS.
Thanks.
