Default Oddball shapes

As well as the topped out or bottomed out float and the extra gas phenomenon, the tanks themselves are some times shaped strangely. That makes the float fall faster or slower at some levels than at others. That might explain the gas gauge at 1/2 when you really only have 1/4.
