    Fuel Guage Indication

    Just thought I would let you guys know what I learned today about our Tigs.... I was running low on fuel and got a 90K warning on the dash and a message on the media screen asking if I wanted to know where the closest fuel station was. Furthermore the fuel gauge changed to show the range left in the fuel tank, not the usual markings for full, half, quarter etc!!

    Interestingly, does anyone know why there is, what looks like a number 7 after the full increment on the fuel gauge? been bugging me for ages!!

    does it look like that. > l think it's a indicator of which side your fuel tanks cap is on.

    It is the number 1. Meaning a full tank. The middle shows 1/2. So the number on the far right is 1.

    Nope, looks like a number 7...there is a triangle next to the bowser symbol which indicates the fuel cap side!

    it looks more like a 7 than a 1, based on that theory shouldn't there be a zero instead of an E??

    I have DAP, and all I can see is the petrol bowser image and the arrow pointing to the side to refill. The other side (far right I have the number 1)
