Fuel question

[grislyatoms]

I always keep an eye on the fuel gauge. I like the large indicator; makes it more of a "guesstimate" than an actual hard number.

Hence, my question - Is it the bottom of the float that indicates fuel remaining, or the top? Common sense tells me that if it's an actual float, then the bottom is accurate. If it's some other device then ?

It seems I come home to base with unused ordnance and 33% fuel left most patrols. Out of a fear of running out of diesel. I'd like to push those figures a bit harder.

I hoist a Spaten dunkel to my fellow Kaleuns and await some guidance!
