Even after you get the gauge to accurately read "FULL" and "EMPTY" the other lines on the gauge are not what the fractions next to them say. So many cobra owners say, "by the time the gauge reads 1/2 I only have a quarter of a tank!" Thats because the cross sectional area of the gas tank is not uniform. The bottom half tapers on many cobras.
