We all know how unreliable the tank gauge is, so I just use it as a guide. At full it now shows about 1/4 lower, so when I get into red I figure I have a 1-1 1/2 gallons left.

Most everybody with a lift just goes by the Trip Meter.

I never let it run too low anyway - don't want to get stuck in the middle of the desert.

That tank lift looks great on the FLD!!

Can you post a scan of the directions? I'd like to give this a try.
