The Eolys computer hasn't been reset properly. I think it may only be able to be reset by the generic Pergeot dealer software. The Eolys should still pump ok but you will get the message & beep.

I don't think there is a float in the Eolys tank. The ECU keeps a tally of the amount of fluid it has injected, so knows when it is getting low. That's why the ECU needs resetting when the Eolys tank is re-filled.

A shot of additive is injected into the fuel system every time the car is filled up - there are sensors on the fuel cap. So that's why its always a good idea to fill up with half a or a full tank at a time.

The car's ECU can be reset by anyone with the Lexia equipment, there's a quite a good network of Peugeot owners and amateur diagnostics specialists with the equipment.

There's a map of them here:
