Ran out of gas!!!! showing fuel
Hi i purchased a 2000 911 Millennium (996 C4). The other day ran out of gas, yet there was fuel showing on the guage, slight under 1/4 and no warnings of low fuel, when i added 2 gallons it started wright up and was fine. Does any one have any hints to this is it programming or just an old fuel sender?

C4 & Turbo have a "Split" gas tank, one section is isolated from the rest of the tank that has the sender. The amount of fuel in that section is inferred by the amount used. If the tank is empty and the battery is disconnected the computer loses its calibration.
I think there might be a way to re-calibrate without taking it to the dealer but not sure. Someone will chime in soon.

My father has a Millennium edition 911. I am almost certain that there was a recall on the fuel sender, a calibration problem. Check with the dealer.
