Ran out of gas last week

It not really not that hard and kinda fun, run your tank a low and pull the sending unit. No need to measure ohms. Pull the unit, measure the depth of your tank and adjust your float arm. Detailed instructions on any of the sending unit websights. Check out VDO or ask nissonger for a copy.

I pulled the sending unit and filled the tank half way with gas then bent the float till I got the half tank reading. When mine reads full, it's full. When it reads empty, it's empty. It took a couple of minutes to do. Like was said earlier, due to the shape of the tank, the top half of the tank holds more then the bottom half.
I never let mine get much below half. With the shape of the tank and the fuel pickup, the gas sloshes to the back of the tank under hard acceleration and the fuel pump will suck air. Not a cool sight to have your car die after blowing by someone!!

I never let mine go below 1/8 of tank.

Seriously, I'm not too concerned about calibrating the gauge on my car now that I know where empty is.
