Out of all this, zim dollar. I get the feeling it is an exponential effect Draco is experiencing. Meaning: Something logarithmic instead of linear. And the only electronic component that can cause that kind of behaviour is the level sensor working like a potentiometer. Potentiometers do become eratic with time. 16 Years old??? hmmmm.....

It seems like it is the level sensor, my car is now almost on 1/4 and I only drove about 270km's..... as I was parked yesterday at my fiance the level dropped to just under 1/4 and when I started again it rose up again.....
