Re: gas tanks
Plus you have to figure with how long the tank is, how accurate do you think the float will be at lower levels. With my new tank and sending unit its not uncommon for my gauge to swing from half to empty and back to half again during acceleration and cornering.

Re: gas tanks
thanks for the back up John!
I have a non-EFI 16 gallon tank in my crew with EFI....I don't dare run much below a quarter of a tank, so i barely have 12 gallons of usable fuel storage  I need to get me some EFI duals.
