C4S fuel gauge issue solution available!!!
So the saga went on after running out if gas twice followed by a calibration & a software upgrade; ran out of gas again, this time on a freeway with more than 1/4 tank on the gauge with 102 miles on the range! Took it in to the dealer again. They contacted Porsche, and the Porsche now has a bulletin on this issue that has not been released to the public yet. My dealer followed that bulletin instruction, and redid wiring on the sensor, and recalibrated. I just spent several hours driving and monitoring the fuel gauge, and for the first time I git it down to near-empty with range of 26 miles without running out of gas!!! I hope this finally resolved this very annoying issue!

Thanks for the update.... Do you happen to know if this bulletin / fix pertains to a specific build date range? I've got a 2014 C4S June '13 build. Haven't noticed any issues with fuel gauge but I also haven't tried to "test" the accuracy. In the past two months only hit the fuel warning once, and it didn't seem too far from the truth....

Glad its resolved. I too have a 2013 C4S and have not been stranded by the fuel issue, or lack thereof, but due to the info on this board I don't let the gas go below 70-80 miles to empty due to lack of confidence. I suppose I could test it cause when I'm driving the car a lot I have to fill every other day to avoid going below my pre-selected range.
