While still loaded on a camping trip and sitting 3 inches low in the rear, we went to do Dickey Bell. Going south to north and up the hill. Of course I took the hard sides going up (not realizing quite how low we were). Got hi-centered on the fuel tank. Pulled some line and on we went.
Went to fill up and tank only read 7/8 tank. Tank consistently read 1/8 lower than what it should have been. Today dropped the tank and straightened out the skid (which was pushed in pretty good).
Bob's your uncle and fuel sender is working perfectly and gauge is accurate! Made my day!! Thank goodness for the plastic tank.

Note-normal camping gear -RTT etc. drops me about 1.5" Apparently having everything soaked from 3 days of rain dropped me more than another inch. Not being aware dropped me a lot more.:facepalm:
