General Check engine light - fuel level sensor P0461

[Ovrland Bill]

I once read that keeping the ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped) during refueling will avoid a timing issue that can trigger the CEL. Is this an actual “operational fix” (I have never had a CEL, whether fueling with ignition on or off)?

I haven’t had the code pop up in a long while. Was hopeful that it wouldn’t come back but it did filling up this morning. I have an ultra gauge that I ran with my old Disco 2 and travel with as part of my tool kit. . Reads codes and clears them too.

My ODB2 scanner has worked previously but I'm now I'm sitting with another Fuel Level Control fault that I'm unable to clear for 3 weeks now.

14 hour trip coming up and I'm desperate to get it cleared beforehand.
