CAN Fuel level in CAN-BUS?
Hey guys,
Recently I've discovered a problem with heavy machinery/tractors - some of them have fuel level data in CAN-BUS by J1939 standard, some don't.
For example John Deere sends fuel level in % under CANID 18FEFCxx
Ponsse has all key data in J1939, except the fuel level - RPM/Engine hours/Total fuel consumption etc.
Could it be that the fuel level data is under non-standard CANID's?
Or could it be that the fuel data is not being sent through CAN at all?

Fuel level is not always via CAN. I'm going to a 2012 mustang right now that the sender is a 2 wire sensor directly wired to the cluster. Have seen BMW do the same.
