When the gauge on my 312 starts bumping off full (in the water), I have used 90 gallons of my 128 total. I run a GPS and typically get about 1-1/2 mpg if I'm not running hard. I didn't know about the adjustment screws on the sender. Definitely going to take a look at that. It's not uncommon for me to run 100 gallons on a weekend and I don't like it after the needle comes off full. Makes me nervous.
|
I recently replaced my sender with a wema model and my fuel gauge when I put the new motor in. I filled the tank, ran a poker run and ended the weekend on 1/2 tank according to gauge. When I topped it off it took 57 gallons...almost half the 106 gallons it holds. ( I think I'm pretty close )

Thats like dead on!
So yesterday i ran it down to where the gauge didnt move of E at rest. Then ran around for about 30 mins more.... I report back on what im able to get in next time out. |
Hmm...I don't actually even know how big is my tank? When the light had been burning for a little time I put for about 66 gallons in.

Once I learned that lesson the hard way, 1/2 became the new E. Having said that, I never have completely filled it, but if I put 60 gallons in when it says 1/2, it will be buried on Full for quite a while. |
105 gallons according to the 271 Fastech owners manual...send me your email & I will send it to you.

So on my 370SS I've been trying to decide if it's full when it says full or empty when it says empty. Having added 170 gallons when it was on 1/8th tank I can assume there was 50 gallons left in tank OR I was nearly empty and the gauge is wrong when it says Full. My choice is make a spill when it spits out the vent or run it til it quits, probably never going to know.

The gauge starts to move off F right away when I run it.
So today I filled it to the top where it was about to over flow. 106 gallons went in. |
