I have a centroid gauge in my CSX that has been calibrated according to their instructions (I have done it twice), but since it is placed about 1/2 down the fuel cell and the tube angles straight down (and is only about 4 inches long), it reads full until about the last quarter of a tank and then goes down very quickly. It's enough not to run out of gas, but not that much better than that. Looks like my set up just doesn't allow the same level of accuracy as the Kirkham set up.
