Rich, With all the answers, you have a good program to figure this out.
I really agree with Hartmut's suggestion that you get some clean gas cans and drain the header tank to determine how much fuel is left, marking the gauge at each gallon removed. Take special note of how much fuel drains out AFTER the gauge hits bottom. Alternatively, drain all the gas into clean cans then add it back in one gallon at a time, measured fairly accurately, putting the gauge on after each gallon to mark the level. You'll probably be surprised how much fuel is in the tank when the gauge is at the bottom of its travel. This is something you want to KNOW! Thanks for the additional information (copied below). It's good, when sending that information, to send it to the group. There are many of people on the forum, some with all the answers on a specific topic, some with part of the answer (some with corrections) and it's important that they all get those details to help with the problem.
