Funny how these cars are. My Classic Roadster has a functioning gas gauge but
it reads half full when full, and has about 8 gallons left when on empty. When I
am filling it, I watch the pavement underneath the filler side fender and when it is
getting full I see gas spots on the pavement that are blowing through the vent.

The Kirkham doesn't have a gas gauge, but does have a 42 gallon gas tank. I too
got into the habit of comparing mileage to the gas gauge in the 60's, which serves me well now. The filler tube in the Kirkham is about 4" in diameter so I have no problem seeing when it is getting full.

These cars are all different except for the fact that they all put smiles on our faces when we are on the road with them!
