range on a full tank of gas 10us gal

[columbiA]

Many years ago,I used to get a minimum of 200 miles on a tank of gas,With the crap gas we have today,I get less mileage.

Unless I'm reading my tape wrong, I have the wrong tank. I measure a tad over 8inches deep, front side of the opening. What have I missed.

My dad tells a story on me when I was about 2 or 3 years old on a trip in his 29 Tudor: I followed his instructions and proceeded to fill up an empty coke bottle. All was well until I decided to empty it by just pouring it out the open window while traveling down the highway!

Skip, that was funny. You should have been a comedian.
Mitch, why spend the money.... an old Gatorade bottle works just fine!

Set the float at top of tank when guage says FULL and you won't have a problem. I got caught short on a hilly trip recently and added 10.429 gallons to my 1.5 gallon tank! I was coasting every downhill. And praying!

Wisdom from Pop: Sure the bounce in the gas gauge makes it a little hard to read, but when it STOPS bouncing, that's when you are really in trouble.

The one time that I looked and saw no bounce, I went straight to the nearest gas station. When I looked in the tank with a flashlight, there was nothing but a puddle the size of a half-dollar around the outlet to the shut-off valve.
