Default Fuel needle

I have gs400 and I replaced the fuel filter that comes inside the fuel tank ( that attached with fuel pump and flouting )
But when I Finished and refuel the car the fuel needle it's shows only 3/4 of tank is full
I refuel it again but the tank was full.
I wait till tank empty and refuel it again , but it the same issue
It did not show the car is full,
Is this issue happened because of flouting or because fuel gauge ( maybe it need programming or calibation

Regards

On the fuel pump one of the rods with a float on it measures the fuel. When you took it out you probably tweeted it. Take it out again and look it over. It's been a long time since I've done this so I don't have pics or more info to help

When you do this, you probably inadvertently spend below the hose of gasoline. Remove the pump gently and see is the float is below the hose. So, the float does not rise to where it need to go up. That happened to me when I change the filter. Again, take the gas pump out very slow and see if the gasoline sleeve ( hose) is interfering with the float. Please, give us an update and good luck.

Thanks mate

I had tried it but it didn't work
In fact I take the flaut group out and connect the wires
And start moving the flout up and down but same result
When I take the flout to the top the needle still show 3/4 tank
I think I need to replace the flout it self
Thanks for your advice

Good morning friend

I had done it and the rod was connecting
I think the flout itself

Thanks
