I have a 29 AA (same fwd from cowl) and have found that when the guage indicates that there is still fuel in the tank and the sediment bowl is full, it will not have enough fuel to promote the flow of gas. Come to find out, it's the fuel pick up tube in the tank and it's not picking up the fuel as it is above the level of fuel left in the tank. I've not measured the amount that the tank holds, but I now know that if the guage shows approx. a gallon I'm out of fuel for all practical purposes. I don't know if I have helped of hindered, but I thought it may contribute.
