MG MGF Technical - fuel guage

hi experts,

my fuel guage doesn't work properly. When the tank is almost empty, the guage shows the halfway of it.
where is the problem ?
any idea to fix it?

thanks

Probably the sender is sticky at the fuel tank inner wall. Or the sender mechanic at the fuel pump inside the tank is damaged.

Did you have any repair at the fuel tank or fuel pump recently ?

However. A very difficult job to correct this failure.


Some related pics to give impressions about the parts design.

Turgut - on a completely unrelated matter - did you get your car repaired okay in the end?
