Default Fuel gauge sender failure

Hi, I am writing from Japan.

Has anybody heard of or experienced a fuel gauge sender failure caused by the use of ultra-low sulfur gas? I thought I read about a similar problem a couple of years ago, but at that time I believe that it was caused by the high content(=a few hundred ppm) of sulfur in gas. I am talking about same sympton but caused by ultra-low sulfur content. I am hearing some problems reported here, and our gas contains only 10-100ppm of sulfur.
