yet another fuel gauge thread - reads full all the time
For what ever its worth...:realcrazy:
I just CADed up an A body gas tank based on ROUGH measurements from a real tank.
There are many variables I did not account for. But I came out only .2 gallons greater than a theoretical 18 gallon tank!
The gallons per 1/2" of level drop are far from linier. There are sections of the tank where they are linier but the tank overall is not. If the tank were rectangular each slice would be the same gallons.
(10 is the top of the tank slice 0.5 is the bottom of the tank slice)
