The day after I finished upgrading my stereo, the FUEL TANK (orange color) warning light came up in my dash. Fuel was low in the main tank and when I tried to press the sub-tank transfer button in an attempt to pump the fuel from the sub-tank to the main tank, the green light on the button lighted up for a second and went out. Obviously, the transfer did not take place.
I went to fill up the main tank yesterday. I put about 50 Lts to an almost empty tank. I drove off with the FUEL TANK warning light still on. However, after about 1 minute or 2, the warning light went away and I thought it was likely the float was stuck because of the low level on fuel at the time and now it sort of fixed itself by freeing the float due to the filling of fuel. Apparently, that was not a correct assumption.
After I had driven for a couple of hundreds kilometers, I tried pressing the sub-tank transfer button again to confirm if the sub-tank transfer system was fixed. The same thing happened. The light on the button came up for about a second and then went out. No fuel was transferred. It was noted that the warning light was not on at this time.
I drive the rig further to a point that the fuel was low again. The FUEL TANK warning light came back on again.
What could be wrong with this? Please point me to a direction where I could start to check which parts are at fault.
Thanks for your help.
