Post Fuel Level
on: November 17, 2010 (GMT)

So Fuel level works for me, but it doesn’t read properly I don’t think. I assume it is supposed to read as a percentage value.

It always seems to read somewhere in the 80s and 90s be default. At first i thought maybe if i started with a full tank, did a custom pid based on fuel level and adjusted it with math to start at 100 (as it seemed to be higher than 100 on a full tank) that it would at least be semi-accurate. It seemed to be at first, but then when i got in the car and was around 1/3rd tank of gas left it was in the 80% range.

Did the fuel level always work from the first time you paired to the app, or did you have to do something specific to GET IT to work? Fuel level reads blank on my app :/

Hi

If your ECU supports the standard Fuel Level PID, then torque will just work, and accurate because you are seeing the direct reading from the ECU for that PID – The OBD2 fuel % PID is part of the standard set of PIDs torque supports straight out of the box – it is just up to your ECU whether or not it provides that informtion.

If you use a custom PID, then I can’t really help as they are (annoyingly) different between manufacturers. If you are having to adjust the formula manually to get it to read 100% then it suggests that you probably have the wrong formula or PID

I do add custom sets of PIDs (as you have probably seen from the PID editor) once I am confident enough that they are correct, but obviously those lists are manufacturer dependant

I was doing some research nd discovered why ( I assume) the fuel reading is incorct in my challenger and many other people’s cars. The Dodge fuel tank is 2 chamered and has 2 collectors for then fuel level, one in each side. The fuel gauge in the dash is an average of the 2 collectors, im thinking thn fuel PID is only reading 1 of them, causing it to be off. The fuel pump is on the passanger side and there is a mechanism im place to keep qs much fuel the as possible to keep the pump submerged. If we can discover a secondary fuel level pid and average the 2 together it may solve this problem.

I have the same issue, which I suppose will affect the MPG display as well.

WoW thanks for that. Does this work also on a Smart 450.300?

Do you know more pid’s for Smart cars??

The fuel level works for me, 2008 F-150.
The problem I have with mine is it bounces around so much!
Starting and stopping make it go bounce 50% thru 100% when 3/4 full.
The dash fuel gauge doesn’t do that.

Is there a way to have a timed average to help correct this?

Thanks!

You can create your own custom pid
using Torque Pro’s equation functions.
