If you have a fuel gauge that give bad information about the level of fuel in your classic mini, check out this episode. I had a faulty fuel tank sender in my Classic Mini Clubman Estate and needed to replace it.

I also discuss how to make adjustments to the sender to correct for errors between the sender and the dash gauge.
