Gas gage stuck on full

My first tick usually drops off around 72 mi. If I short tanked (cold bladder or tricky gas pump) it drops off lower. This tank it ticked off somewhere around 65 mi. Like Sluggo, I don't really pay much attention to it until it gets pretty low (ie blinky).

Ahhh, pip blinked off at 201 miles to my great relief. I did not top off the last fillup though. The pump was excruciatingly slow because the nozzle was bent at the end.

I stopped filling when I heard the gas in the neck but it still "burped" at me a few times when I removed the nozzle. It was certainly not on purpose since I normally run at the first stop on the handle and when it clicks off I pull it out, even if it is an odd number since I use pay at the pump.

It will be real interesting to see how many miles I get from this tank!

Thanks everyone!

Regards,
Steve
