Car out of fuel even when the tank is 1/4 full.

[azeL_Inc]

My car stalled when I was driving with a quarter tank left of fuel. I thought it was the fuel pump that failed on me, but I took my chance and got someone to bring me fuel. After approx 5 liters of top up, the car starts just fine. Thought fuel indicator was at fault, but when I fuel up, it only took 3/4 of amount, which proved that there re 1/4 fuel in the tank indeed. Any idea why?Sent from my GT-N8000

exactly the same problem i experienced...problem resolve after replaced the Item 4 and the (part number 16 11 1 184 084) and fuel filter...
For my case, when i sent to workshop...the scanner actually couldn't get any error code related to fuel delivery...so the foreman ask me whether I still want to "try" replace the fuel pump or not??
I made decision to change...and it was right decision
