A really accurate gas gauge, Bugeye

[jlaird]

Mark a stick with a knotch 5 1/2 inchs up from the end, that is full. Half is half, etc., etc.

I did not trust my fuel gauge, I was wrong, Kim did an excellent job, it was right on.

I have used that method since 1973 with the BE

Hmmm.....my gas gauge is pretty darn accurate. I guess that's unusual? Also, if you keep track of your mileage you can tell when it's time to fill up, regardless of what the gauge or stick says. I get 33-35 MPG on average, so I fill up between 200-220 miles (still have gas in the tank, just in case).

I changed from a 4.22 to a 3.9 ...... My speedo is off by 7% and the odometer is off by 15%.... go figure..... I do constantly!

Bill:

I'll be changing to the 3.9 over the winter. Is the speedo 7% higher or lower?

All of Miss Agathas switches and gauges work as they should it seems.
