Incorrect Fuel Level Display In Instrument Cluster
Vehicle Type:
911 Carrera (996)
Model Year:
As of '02 (2)
Concerns:
After refueling, the fuel level display in the instrument cluster does not show a change in fuel level. To correct this the fuel pressure pipe in fuel tank
needs to be rerouted.
Information:
If malfunctions of the fuel level display occur after refueling, or if the fuel level display does not show a change in fuel level after refueling, there is the
possibility that the fuel level float sensor is blocked by the fuel pressure pipe in the fuel tank. On vehicles with this complaint, the routing of the fuel
pressure pipe in the fuel tank must be altered as described in the following work procedure.
