Low fuel light ON

The low fuel light was turned ON since I have taken delivery on the Gallardo a few days back. The analog gauge is about 1/4 tank full. I went to the gas station to fill her up. I noticed the nozzle doesn't sink into the filler neck much. (maybe an inch or so) But the tank spits up fuel seconds into fueling, showing that the tank is physically full. Am I missing something?

Remember that the Gallardo has two gas tanks, connected by a transfer pipe on the bottom and a vent pipe on the top. Just a hunch, but maybe the transfer pipe is blocked and gas can't flow into the left tank. I'm not sure where the fuel level sensor is located.

pretty common issue with the pump thinking its full. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt and you have to hold trigger half way

 

 

This was this issue exactly. I had the same issue with my old 70's Datsun where the nozzle needed to be pulled back up a bit. Also had to feather the pump trigger so that the flow of gas didn't bombard the filler neck. Filled up like a charm. Receipt states 17.8 gallons. Light is gone and analog gauge is now full.
