Hisun Axis 500 Fuel gauge fault

[Sylvain Gravel]

Hi,

Thank you for admitting me to your forum. I have an issue with my Hisun Axis 500. I bought this vehicle last week, the fuel gauge was totally in good condition. Now it no longer indicates the fuel level. There is no longer any current supplying the gauge. I checked the fuses, everything is fine.

 

The connections seems ok.

 

Any idea? 

 

Thanks

Can you post a picture of what the gauge shows, and let us know what level you think you're at?

Here's a picture of the electronic panel. As you can see, there's no indication of the fuel gauge. The thank is actually at the middle of the full tank.

 

 

Here's a picture of gauge.

 

 

Thanks.

It's showing 100% full in the picture. All those white bars indicate fuel also, as it drops the white bars will go away until only the red remains. When it is almost empty the red will blink.

I ran the vehicle for at least an hour, may be more. The gauge did'nt change. Still the same, no white bars have'nt change. May be you're right, i dont know about this UTV. I'll keep wondering for the result. One thing for sure, I will carry a tank of gasoline in case of running on empty.

 

Thanks.

I would keep an eye on it, but at this point you can't really tell if it's not working. There are 6 bars, and almost 8 gallons so it should be something like 1.3 gal/bar assuming the gauge is linear. Most gas gauges tend not to be, in my experience, at least in cars. I have not tried to check the accuracy of my Hisun's gauge.

For trail riding these things should get pretty decent gas mileage, I'm guessing around 20 MPG, so a full tank should be like 150 miles on that machine.

Idling should burn <0.5 GPH.

So you may not have burned much more than a gallon anyway.

Post an update when you burn some more and let us know if it's still having issues.

You were right about the fuel consumption. There are two bars left, that mean the gauge is working. Thanks.
