This is from Allan's garage Plymouth....
How to fix a Mazda Bongo fuel gauge. No drilling needed. It’s common for the fuel gauge to read either intermittently or not at all. This is usually due to an earth fault. Try this simple fix.
Kneel down beside the driver’s door, look underneath your Bongo. You’ll see the rectangular bulge of the fuel tank under the floor. A ‘lipped’ seam runs around the tank. This seam has holes pre-drilled into it. Now look towards the rear of the Bongo. Just in front of the driver’s side rear wheel there’s a ‘T’ shaped metal plate that runs from the sill to the chassis. There are 2 holes pre-drilled in it. Or, just behind the offside pillar, there’s a 10mm nut that holds hoses in place. Select a hole on the tank, and either a hole on the plate, or the 10mm nut. Clean the metal around these holes, to enable good contact with the earth wire you will make. Measure the distance between the holes. Cut a length of electrical wire to this length. Attach an eyelet connector to each end of wire. Attach the connectors using self-tapping screws or small nut & and bolt. The job's done. If this hasn’t fixed the fuel gauge fault, contact us, we can fix it.
