All,
I have tried more than once to adjust per the MGA instructions. It has not yet
resulted in satisfactory accuracy on the guage. The best I have been able to
do is adjust the guage in situ. This gives a result similar to the "1/4 is
empty" scenario. If you try this be careful with your tool as there are hot
posts nearby and you can short something out!
One word of note. The very slightest difference in tightening the nut on the
full side adjustment makes a BIG difference in the reading. Needle changes by
as much as 1/2 tank with the smallest of tightness changes.
