Ok, time to start documenting this so folks can follow along.
Filled up the other day, and did some donuts and slaloms to slosh fuel in tank and work air to filler. Topped off and repeated until I could get no more air out. Addition of about 1.2 gallons to already full tank resulting in 'superfull' tank.
(note: I will try to add the pictures later today)
Please excuse the picture quality, some of these are not the best.
Near end of run this afternoon I was:
122.0 miles on the clock
Computer showed 810 miles left in tank
At the end of the run I was 127.x on the clock
Computer showed 820 miles left in the tank
(no clear picture - took one but it smeared and I didn't notice until I looked just now)
Analysis: I am about 47 miles above that necessary for 900 mile tank. I don't think fuel level is down to sending unit yet. See 'superfull above'.
