Man Dave, I am glad you made it out OK, last Thursday I kept looking at the fuel gauge pinned on E and was a little worried til you told me the gauge does not work.
I've always relied on the piece of lath fuel measuring stick technique, even make marks with # of gallons on it.
This is one of those only going let it happen once in life things, just makes one wonder how many more of those you can discover. Kidding.
