Ah, maybe those 1.8g turns I took going around the Bourne rotary 
coming home from Cape Cod last weekend?

I believe so.  The guage has had a peculiar behavior for a while but 
I think it still works the same way it did.  [It reads lower than it 
should as the fule level drops but reads correct when the tank is 
full.  I would think a bad float would read low with full tank too.  
It did this once before but when I cleaned all the lectrical 
terminals it seemed to read okay again.  So I've interpreted it as 
lectrical.  Anyway, it seems to be the same now as it was last week.]

Hmmmmmmm.  When I got gas on the way to the Cape the non-drip spout 
seemed to hang up in the cap, and when I pulled it out it kept 
dribbling gas like a runny nose.  I wonder if something from the gas 
nozzle fell off into the tank!

Tanks again.
