[Mgs] MGB gas-tank dipstick

[Robert's New iPad]

	I can not suggest a reasonably accurate dip stick for MGB. Tank filler neck is curved and of large diameter.
	My calibration efforts, that have worked out well, were to carry a spare can of fuel along, then running the tank dry, and noting gauge position.  Then, fill to top and note again.   
	Rick Astley’s book describes calibration of the gauge, but even when adjusted it can not be considered a precise instrument.  Even though I now trust my gauge, I reset the trip odometer to 000 then plan to fill when it nears 225 miles. Trust but verify, as someone famous said.
