Yes, The Minnesota MGT group gave sticks away at GOF Central in
Hudson, MN about 10 years ago.  It also ends a 12 gallons

>From the bottom

1 gallon= 3/4"
2 gallons= 1 5/8"
3 gallons= 2 3/4"
4 gallons= 3 7/8"
5 gallons= 5 1/8"
6 gallons= 6 7/16"
7 gallons= 7 13/16"
8 gallons= 9 1/4"
9 gallons= 10 3/4"
10 gallons= 12 3/8"
11 gallons= 14"
12 gallons= 15 7/8"

Blower's book says 13 1/2 gallons total capacity.

My suggestion:

1) Make up a stick with the 12 gallon mark on it.
2) Drive to the gas station and fill the tank to the 12 gallon
mark.
3) Add one gallon according to the stations pump.
4) Check the level and mark it on the stick.
5) Add another gallon
6) Etc.

Or:
1) Borrow a 5 gallon gas can.
2) Drive until the fuel in the tank is down to the light and go
home.
3) Drain the remaining fuel and pour it ino another vehicle.
4) Fill the 5 gallon can with exactly five gallons.
5) Pour it into the TC
6) Make a stick and mark the 5 gallons on it.
7) Drive the TC to the station and refill to the 5 gallon mark.
8) Add one gallon and mark the stick.
9) etc.
