Hi all. I have fitted an ARB Frontier long range fuel tank recently to my FX4. I have read the info on this site on the “how to” using Forscan etc. However, when one is somewhat technically challenged, the concept of me trying to change the calibration is just not going to be possible. [emoji24]. So I am asking if anyone knows where I can get my fuel gauge calibration completed in Brisbane. All help absolutely welcomed. Cheers Macca

I don't reckon a Ford dealer is able to reset it to the 140 litres. Even the likes of ARB tell you it can't be done and that your distance to empty will no longer be correct.

But it can certainly be done with Forscan. Hopefully someone in the Brisbane area will offer to do it for you macca. I would, but your a bit too far from Adelaide mate... good luck.

Jinks, this answer has no place at all on this forum especially for a first post.

Read the above requirements in the BIG RED box and read some of the existing information here before leaving the above post as you would then know straight away why I have said what I have.

Thank you.

Unfortunately Macca is too far away for me but I have no doubt a member on here will be able to help him out.

Brisbane members can one of you please give Macca a hand?

Where abouts are you located Macca?

I'm in the Gold Coast, but usually around Brisbane most times, and will be keen to help you out.

Hey there. Sorry I haven’t logged on here for a little while. Thanks for the offer as I haven’t attended to the calibration yet.
I am located on the Northside of Brisbane. I am going to the Ranger Meetup next month, are you going? Promises to be a great event.
Cheers Macca
