[Healeys] fuel tank markings

[John Sims]

Not to create a flame war or continue the thread, I think that I would
rather use the stick method to VALIDATE my gauge and, then if it is
materially off, consider trying to fix the gauge. Just another test item
IMHO. I have a new fuel pump and sender unit and as soon as I fix my brake
lines will take a spin to see what my gauge really reads. (doesnt make
sense for me to start up with a perfectly sounding engine only to have no
brakes at the end of my driveway which goes 60 feet down a hill to a
moderately traveled road. Doubt if Hagerty would like that scenario!) That
is, if it doesn't start to snow first!

with all due respect to you guys and your fuel measuring sticks, i'm going
to continue using my SMITHS guage, filling up when it indicates
approximately 1/8th remaining.  this is usually 10 gallons or so on my
replacement tank from Sports & Classics, circa '90 or '91.
