    Default still the gas gauge.. ;-)

    Thanks guys for your praise.... ;-)

    So as I have full and empty according to the gauge I shouldn't change anything in the calibartion here??



    let it be like that, but what is with the "fuelRem" it is still related to the initial max tank size F0504 which I set to 113 but the FTRC only reads 99l all the time, no matter what I set F0504.
    As GMPX said FTRC its only cosmetic.... I am not that sure about this... Some DIC messages need the tank's size to calculate other information as distance to empty for example. Also as you can see in my table the fuel rem is also based on a 99l tank... not the desired 113l one....

    I guess I should stop here and leave it like that... it's not perfect...but.... ?

    I ran out of fuel in my 2000 Holden with 40Km's to go on the DIC.......it's not perfect is the motto at Holden as well by the look of it.
