Default My XKR is making gas!

Filled up the tank last week, and the gauge showed almost, but not quite full. Filled it up again this week, and the gauge showed two thirds full. After a couple of days driving, it has increased to three quarters. I assume the tank will be full after a few more days...

Joke aside, something funky is going on with the tank gauge or sender unit - anyone else experience this?

The battery is fresh and healthy, I have not jump started the car, charging is good and everything else in the instrument cluster is working fine. Also, it is not a problem of not being able to fill the tank up - the amount suggests it really does get filled up when tanking.

Very helpful - thanks. I will get hold of some resistors and simulate fuel levels. Fingers crossed it is the sender unit!
