hi
It depend how much fuel have been used.If you was driving on the reserve fuel. Then that 10 euro fuel just have covered your reserve fuel to be honest.
And you will hardly see the needle move..
A loose connection on the sending unit could cause the problem but also moisture in the tank in cold weather could also be a factor in which i would add fuel line antifreeze to a full tank of fuel..........Hope this helps you out.
if the oil light is flashing but there is oil in the engine then it is probably the oil pressure that is the problem, you need to attatch a oil pressure guage and find out what the pressure needs to be
you should be able to cycle key 3 times quickly to on position and the odometer will show codes. have codes read and find out what issue is it may be something minor but its best to know before it gets more costly
The most likely culprit is the sending unit in the tank. They are relatively easy to change, as long as you don't have much fuel in the tank. It's a mechanical unit that has a float that raises and lowers with the fuel level, however with age, the floats can develop leaks and no longer float, of the electronic portion of the unit can go bad and not register the proper level. They are replaced and an entire unit, so it doesn't matter which happened, you will need to change the fuel tank sending unit.
