Every thing works except the Distance to Empty when full. You have to wait until it drops below 80litres to work.
You need to make sure the installer sets the float arm correctly otherwise your low fuel light will come on early and will upset the DTE figures. When
mine was fitted the fuel light was coming on when I still had 80Litres in the tank and the DTE said I was about to run out of fuel.
They had a couple of goes at getting it right and After talking to the manufacturers of the tank I was able to supply the installer with the fitting instructions which they had not looked at.
All good now, light comes on when about 100K to gpo until empty.
There is no computer workaround to get the DTE correct with a full tank.
