Just an FYI, if your belly tank has a V shape to it, the bottom half of your tank holds less gas than the top half! That float doesn't know that! And if you don't set the length of the "pivot" of the float correctly, you won't have full range of readings. That's why a lot of us peg FULL for a 1/4 of a tank and then drop like a stone after half a tank.
Thats why you should never trust the gauge, especially below 1/3 of a tank. Your broom stick gauge has the same problem with V tanks. and someday I'll buy a flow meter.....til then I fill'er up.
