Mini One engine stall and fuel sensor issue

My 2014 Mini One has presented a rather concerning issue. The check engine light has illuminated, accompanied by instances of engine stall at idle. Furthermore, an error pertaining to the fuel level sensor has been stored in the error memory. Could this be related to the fuel tank?

I had a similar issue with my Mini One. The check engine light was on and the car would stall unexpectedly, almost like it was running out of fuel. Did you check the fuel level sensor itself? I am not a mechanic but maybe the car sensor has gone bad?

When you experienced this issue, did you also get an error code related to the fuel level sensor? Was the car sensor replacement straightforward, or did it require specialized tools or knowledge?

Yes, the error code pointed directly to the fuel level sensor. I'm not mechanically inclined, so I took it to a workshop. They indicated it could be a faulty sensor within the fuel system, perhaps similar to how a bad thermostat behaves. They were able to diagnose the problem quickly.

I appreciate the insight. Following a thorough inspection, it turned out to be a defective fuse within the fuel system, specifically affecting the level sensor. Replacing it for 52€ resolved the check engine light, stalling, and error memory issues.
