Late reply and a first post from myself.....

My S80 2.4 SE suffers the same non-starting problem, although with less fuel indicated in the tank.

Having spoken to a number of specialists and an RAC mechanic, it appears to be a common 'feature' of the car and all recommend keeping fuel levels sufficiently high to prevent it.

I am very wary of the indication given by the fuel gauge, it is certainly not linear (a steady movement towards empty as fuel is used) and slows dramtically at the top and bottom of the gauge. As an ex-technician, I know that cheap instruments can suffer from this but you'd think that a company like Vovlo would put something of better quality in their car?
