Ok, so i ran out of gas in the Bugeye yesterday, 1/2 block from  
home.  This is because I installed a sending unit in the fuel tank  
and I believed it.  What I now know is that "empty" is 1/4 tank on  
the gauge and "full" is 1/2 tank on the gauge.

So, to adjust this thing I see two possibilities:

1.      Drop tank and hook up wiring and fiddle with float position / rod  
position / sending unit position until I get it right or

2.      Wait until it gets low again and put in a resistor so that I know  
when the tank is REALY empty and just ignore the full part of things.

What say you?

Lester
