Have you noticed that your fuel gauge's pointer does not drop to the bottom of the scale (like the other gauges) when you switch your TCH off? It only struck me the other day that this was happening. I had noticed that, in the morning, the fuel gauge was always at the bottom of its scale, like the others. So, I sat watching it for a while after switch-off the other day, and discovered that, after about 10 minutes, its pointer drops down. This means that the gauge and the sender in the tank are remaining powered for ~10 minutes after switch-off. This clearly is intentional. I can only speculate that it is for reasons related to possible re-fuelling of the vehicle — keep the fuel gauge active since the driver may be intending to fill up. Does anyone have a better idea as to why this is done?
