My gauge reads from full to empty. Empty meaning that I have 1 gallon left.
I just replaced my speedometer. The one I just installed, I left the voltage
stabalizer on. My tank was 3/4, now it is over full. My tempature used to be
on the second mark. now it runs hot. (which it isn't) Could be the voltage
stabalizer, I believe it only runs the water temp and fuel gauge.
