Update on "Baffled?" Posted by TonyJ [Email] (#407) [Profile/Gallery] (more from TonyJ) on Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:05:17 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
See earlier thread "Baffled?" The dealer did not have to replace the tank. A previous Saab dealer, who replaced the fuel pump, botched the job, broke a tab, and put the pump in wrong, causing the erratic readings. I was told that our 04 9-5 aero wagon has the newer style tank, with no baffle. So now it has a brand new pump and seems to read properly.
Before bringing it in, they wanted as little fuel as possible, so I ran it down, carrying a gas can. The low fuel indicator came on at 60 miles DTE, then it ran out showing 38 miles DTE, going down very slowly. After the repair, I ran it down to 29 miles DTE with no problem, then it took over 18 gallons at fillup.
