Hi! Ken
You probably don't need me to remind you that with the initial 2-1/2 gallons
into the tank the first two galls of that will stay in the reserve side.]]

My capacitance gauge is under the right headrest. does not matter which
side because when you set the scale, you first put 2 1/2 gallon in the tank
and call that "zero" and go from there. I would not trust my life to any
gauge. Fill the tank and keep track of fuel consumption and never cut it
closer than two gallons before needing the reserve.
