Darrell, it is my impression that a good hydraulic fuel gauge made to be a mechanic's tool in the engine compartment is a bit more accurate than a dash mounted electric gauge... if this is true, my question is: how useful do you find the dash mounted fuel gauge?? wouldn't it miss say a small leak in an injector? Thanks, Bill
