fuel indicator problems


Buzzarde

Recommended Posts

I have a 2018 24' pathfinder with 104 hours. It came with a yamaha digital engine readout which includes the fuel level bar graph.  On several trips I have noticed my fuel indication will drop from 4 bars down to 1 bar in a blink! man will that get your focus!  The last time it had the last bar blinking!  Im not sure whats going on?  Could be a bad sending unit or The system has not been   calibrated?  Anyone elts had this happen?

On my 2400 and on my Maverick HPX-T the gas gauge consistently underestimates the gas, and both drop quickly once under half a tank. 

Of course rule #1 of boat ownership is never to trust the gas gauge. Never. 

The best thing to do is connect your engine data through a NMEA 2000 backbone and then to your multi-display, Garmin or whatever. Once you get that calibrated it will calculate your fuel burn very accurately and subtract it from your tank capacity to show a much more accurate fuel level.
