Something strange happened yesterday on my 2015 NX200t.
I had 1/2 a tank of gas left when I came back from Lunch.
It rained for about 90 mins, I mean heavy rain.
When I left work and started the car, the Fuel needle stayed on Empty and the fuel light came on. On the center information display it said fuel was low. For sure I thought that someone had stolen gas from my car as this has happened in our area before. I opened the Fuel cover to smell if there was any gas spilled. No there was just rain water. The Gas Cap was not loose, I opened it and closed it back.
Drove to gas station and topped off the tank at 7.7 gallons. If the tank is 15 gallons then 7.7 would make sense as the tank was 1/2 full. Now when I started the car everything showed normal. Fuel needle was on Full and no lights or information on display.
What causes that? has anyone had a similar issue? Is it weather related?
I had the car running in ECO mode could that have caused the issue? Spoke to the dealer and this is the first they have heard of this.
Your thoughts.
