hi guys, i replaced my fuel float on my x reg 1.0 12v corsa b. when sitting stationary my needle is bang o the '2' of the 20litre, when i pull away it drops to the next line and when i go around a corner, up/down a hill the needle goes down more, when i stop and sit it settels again,

can anyone shed some light on this, thank you

this will happen when you pull away all the fuel goes to the back of the tank, round a corner left all the fuel to the right of the tank and visa versa down hill all fuel to the front of tank and visa versa for uphill, go downhill or break heavy, shows you have more fuel then

That was my view on all the corsa's i have owned anyway

I use to brake hard when the red light came on to make it go off
Yeah but thats common with most corsa's, mine wasn't as bad as mentioned above but there are many cases the same nothing to worry about
