Heat fuel gauge
 
Who else has a wonky fuel gauge in their Heat? From day 1, with full tanks, the gauge stays at near full to what I'd guess is about half a tank, then does a sprint to a quarter. I've lived with it for 15 seasons, but had a scenario this week where knowing more precisely at a glance would have helped. I can't imagine it's possible to put a new sending unit on this boat. Any workarounds short of buying a separate and expensive flow monitor? I'm tired of doing guesswork calculations in my head while underway.

I've noticed the same on mine(97 with saddle tanks on the sides)...only reason I can figure is because my tanks are almost double the width at the top to half way down then they get super skinny

The gauge goes from 0-20 l/100km. The HR-Vs rated fuel efficiency in Canada is 8.8 l/100km city,7.2 hwy and 8.1 combined
