My needle goes from full to empty and when I fill it; it only takes 15 gal!!! I've watched carefully to be sure the needle is sweeping fully across the gauge and it goes from past the F to burried in the E and still it only takes 15. I thought these tanks were more like 25 or 27 gal? If the float arm was bent, I would think it wouldn't reach one end or the other on the gauge. Maybe the sending unit was replaced with the wrong ohmage? ...or did some of these have 15 gallon tanks?
