Well basically I have a "x " reg 306 hdi ,, but the fuel gauge seems to be not consistent
When I bought the car it said it had half tank , drove it for over 100 miles and the fuel gauge didn't seem to go down at all
Then put some juice in and it went straight upto full (£10)
And then suddenly went back down to half again
My question is how do i find out what's wrong and how to test
Thanks

the tank isn't square so the fuel gauge does funny things.
from the redlight I put £20 itll show just under half way. to fill it up to max I need to put an extra £40 to brim the tank.i get 100-150miles on about £10's worth of fuel but it drops depressingly fast if its below half a tank (350miles on the first half, 150-200 on the second depending on how I rag it)
it does however sound like you are about on the money with the cost to fill up, and I would suggest the sender on the fuel gauge is nackered so have a look at that. might be sticking inside the tank or a loose wire or earth.
Yeah I thought the sender was at fault but others have said it could be a dash fault but whatever it is its tremendously annoying
never rely on it, then you'll never know how inaccurate they can be

only way to check this would be to get another set of clocks and pop them in.. only 2 plugs on the back of them, and a few screws and torx bolts to remove it
