Jeff, this is what I did. I had a cheap repro unit that failed. I bought a
refurbished original from the Nocks--not cheap, since I didn't have an
original core to trade--and set it so it is reads empty with about 1 gal
left in the tank. Down side is full reads just over 3/4, but the scale is
much smaller at the F end.
