Arrow Fuel Gauge indicator

I pumped diesel to full tank on my 2013 xDrive 20d (X1)

When I strte the engine, I noticed that the fuel gauge on the dash was showing up only quarter tank ..

Can nyone explain me the problem and what to do to rectify that??

Fuel float in tank may not be floating very well.

Same unit may have electrical problem.

Diesel can get muddy sometimes if the station pump doesn't filter it out.

My Innova in Indonesia uses palm oil solar, and at first oil change the diesel filter had what looked like mud on it.

To fix usually means drop tank and take out sending unit.

Ask local BMW mechanic how much?

Yeah, anything on BMW expensive, but if that's with the part it's dirt cheap.
