Dealer was looking at my high reading fuel gauge/permanent low fuel light (spot the contradiction) the other day and made some observations about the state of my ECU.

Mechanic explained that there just happens to be a small hole in the undertray lef from the cast which sits directly under the ECU and just out of the protection of the hugger.

Every new Tiger he's plugged this with silicon sealant but he says on mine the water and crud has been getting in and the ecu is now a little corroded.

He's pointing at this as being the most likely cause of the fuel gauge mis reading. The triumph diagnostic device is saying the current being sent to the fuel gauge is too high.

Does this sound reasonable ?

It was given a bit of a clean with compressed air and for 2 days the low fuel light stayed off. Now it's back.

They're quite happy to swap an ecu from another bike to check, they just didn't have the time. They only have one Tiger left in stock so I don't know whether to just buy a secondhand one if I can find one just in case.
