fuel gauge problem (?) on F355

Same issue with my 1997 F355B.

 

A Ferrari tech I knew who was working on the cars when fairly new told me they fitted quite a few new units after complaints from owners but there was little or no difference in performance. Bottom line is the sender unit appears to be poorly designed or manufactured. 348/Mondial T anyway. Mine works but is slow to react. Especially at lower fuel levels. I fill up to 3/4 tank approx. only. I can live with it and after talking to the tech I don't think a new one would be significantly better. You might be able to fix a non working unit but maybe not the performance. Im all ears though.

 

So just fill up the tank when it is half empty and the problem is fixed? I guess this solution will also work when you're having problems with your gearbox?

Ok thanks. Throwing new parts at it will also fix the problem of course.
