Took her out for a run to work today, fuel gauge still hard over full but poking the float lower the gauge does go down...

Seems normal, that needle won't move for the first 50~60 miles...

so fill up at half a tank rather than quarter

Dunno development/density of water-holes in your area... normally I don't stop till the "magic light" comes up = 1hr flight-time remaining...

or even old school and look in the tank...

That I do during refuelling, ensuring proper (top) level... but you guys have those gators for the vapour return system on the nozzles...

Easy to defeat those with two fingers pushing the gator up.
