[Healeys] fuel gallon marks by observation

[John Harper]

I have not read all the details on this subject so maybe I have missed
it but I have not seen anything written that recognises that British
Imperial gallons are not the same as US gallons

        1 liquid US gallon      = 0.833 imperial gallon

The fuel tanks would have been defined in imperial gallons and therefore
a nominal 12 gallon Austin-Healey tank would in theory hold 14.4 US
gallons
