I put the usual 6v gauge designed for behind the seat tanks in the underbed tank of my '48. The arm was too long and could not swing far enough down when the tank was empty. So I bent it up. It now doesn't read full when it is.

What I should have done was shorten the arm (and not bend it) so it could hang further down when it was empty but would still float level when it was full.
