I think there must be a reserve tank mine goes up when the light comes on. Only once next time the light comes on i fill it up. | |

i had this problem, easy to fix just lift the back seats up lift the fuel pump out and relocate it back in properly. it shud sit in 2 little things at the bottom of the tank, my pump was swingin about in the tank lol | |

It's because the petrol moves around in the tank? | |

Does all Corsas have the petrol light ? My needle moves up and down, under heavy braking, etc. Never seen my light come on before, thats why I am wondering if I have one. Car is a 1.4 LS. | |

i got this prob... or a similar one, pissing e off for ages, turn the enigne on and takes about 10 minutes to go up, and when you put your foot down to overtake somebody, or just feel like going fast it does the oposite of the speedo and starts going down and then when ya actiualy start slowing down it goes back up again. | |

my corsa also has this problem, when the petrol gets down to about half way, now and again it will drop down to the red and the light comes on, this is nothing to do with being on a hill, then after few minutes it will go back up to half again, its WIERD!!:o | |

If you are on a hill, facing downwards, the needle will move up quite a bit. The opposite if you are facing up a hill. | |

My petrol gauge on my Corsa B is extremely inaccurate, and will move several bars when it feels like it. Im pretty sure its a bad earth, but does anyone have any idea if and how this can be fixed? |
