Seems like what you need is a shorter arm length to achieve the correct 
reading at the tank bottom and when the tank is full.  Is there a way to 
make that adjustment?  If not, how about bending the arm up at the upper 1/3 
point and then bending down at the lower 1/3 point in a manner that 
effectively shortens the arm length to achieve the correct readings.

A shorter arm does seem like the solution. On the Repro sending unit the arm 
is held in place with a set screw & the arm has a flat spot that keeps the arm 
from rotating. It might be possible to create a new flat spot on the arm & 
shorten it. I think I will try bending it first to see if I can adjust the empty 
reading & compromise the full slightly.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
