After 48 hours the fuel tank meter indicated a near empty diesel tank. Therefore we filled it up from a 20 liter jerry can. Still the meter only showed 1/2 tank.
I suppose it is the tank meter that is broken, since it is showing empty when it actually is half full. And shows half empty, when it actually is topped and full.
The good thing, is that I probably never will empty the tank, and therefore need to breathe the diesel fuel line and injector pump.
I haven't investigated yet, if this is an easy problem to resolve, by checking the status or even replace the tank meter. However it's a warranty issue, so I do expect to have a replacement meter being sent in a short time. Then I need to find out where it's located, and how much work there is to replace it.
Just wanted to hear if any others have got simlar problems with their tank meters?

Got this as a spare part on warranty from our Swedish distributor. Fast and great service! However, still have to figure out how much work it is to replace the sensor. Maybe await replacing the unit until I open the instrument consol to add a 12V power outlet for electric heated seat, charging the mobile phone etc. Fuel meter sensor - LOVOL DA011 08. 04 - TB400.484A.2:

Looks pretty easy IF you have easy access to the top of your tank. Sounds like you have a good distributor.
