Why is the fuellight flashing.

Jan 31, 2004 6 Replies

The fuel low light keeps flashing occasionally on my 90 despite the tank being far from low in fuel. I presume it's due to the fuel sloshing around over bumps and around corners but is it usual for that to cause the light to flash? or have I got something else to fix idc! :-(



mine starts flashing at half on the fuel gauge

Could be a faulty connection. Check the connectors at the tank to see if they are rusted up.

The message from "jOn....." contains these words:

Hello Bob. I also have a landy90. This fuel sender probably sits above and dangles the float, causing a false reading when it's low enough. Mine does exactly the same on quarter tank when braking. I would use the flashing as a guide only, so you can remember to fill up at the end of the week. ;-\

Mine flashes when its full and when its nearly empty. Its ok when its half full tho! Solution, do I take the bulb out or keep the tank at half level!!! Richard

Thanks folks, at least I know it's "normal" so will put it to the back of the pile, will check the connections when I've got a few moments to spare (and the weathers better!) would expect them to be a bit corroded after

17years.
