Re: ScanGauge - interesting fuel numbers

Hey people,

I'm in a similar position with this calibration thing - today I filled up low fuel (OEM) light 1515 kms (not bad for city cycle ?) with roughly 15 litres remaining fuel however the scan gauge said I had 60 or so litres left in the tank :!:

Further info relevant to the scan gauge I have programmed in are:

D4D engine - to cover the engine type only

Diesel A

180 litres - take in account 2 tanks

So how do I calibrate the gauge apart from hitting the refuel done instruction etc ?

Any info appreciated - yes looked in the book but still confused

Thanks in advance

Check out the thread Product Review:ScanGuage II - I think it should help you.

Hi Jarrah 7 Rally,
I always use the same fuel bowser to do the first 3 Fillup calibrations as I have found the SGII varies slightly when you go to a different Servo and use the Fillup command function. I know its not the full answer, I have had my SGII for about 24 months and it's very accurate.

Re: ScanGauge - interesting fuel numbers

Well mine appears to be reading everything accurately. Speed and trip meter are spot on.

What concerns me is that I'm down to last quarter tank of full, 90 litre light is on and scan guage says I can still do over 700km!!!

I did 850 odd on the first tank and have travelled about 400 on the second tank.

Something isn't right.

Maybe I'll fill it up and see what the remaining fuel qty is and compare this to the scanguage.

That sounds like a good idea to do a check fill, however these D4D,s are pretty economical if not pushed hard.
