Another update...\n\nI added 18 more gallons, which now means I have 3/4 tank. The gauge reads at 1/2. I'll fill it all the way up when I take it on a longer trip and report back.

I forgot to update this...\n\nThe fuel gauge reads just under the full mark when the tank is filled all the way up. I know that when it reads empty there is actually just under 1/4 tank of fuel so I figure it's like a safety buffer.

I have found that the sender in Nessie reads very much the same as yours.

i did mine sunday with a fill-up as used a lot sitting in storage. Dash showed near empty...\nActually only took 36 gallons. Tank calculated to be 73 gallons. Took 15 minutes\nfor gauge to show full.. Hate to trust this tank until more familar with usage..\nFWIW\nBBB
