Fuel level sender question

Post by bonnevillain »

My fuel sender is going wacky, and it might be a bit before I replace it.
Does the DIC "fuel used" parameter use the injectors to calculate? It would give me a better estimate than just using my trip meter if that's the case. If it also uses the sender in those calculations it's kinda useless.

When I bought my Bonnie the fuel gauge did not work at all. The 'fuel used' was almost dead on every time I filled up until I fixed it.
