My Nissan 2014 J11 is really playing me up.
I fill the tank up full and it says it empty. Then it says it is full and does not go down.

Has anyone else had similar experience and if so what was the diagnosis/resolution/cost to fix

Thanks in advance

The fuel level sensor is immersed in the fuel tank. Likely needs to be checked? It could be sticking as its a simple float system. Can be checked with a testmeter (ohmeter)

There maybe more on this if you search this site for Fuel Gauge
