so im being told ...i do appreciate the reasoning you guys...now we just have convince ford to build a better float in the tank..lol...they should make it reach the very tip top and the very very bottom...whats the point of submerging a float afterall? maybe a flat ring would work, right? ...im just surprised that they dont actually design a gas tank and float that work together to be the most accurate at a ll gas levels...hrmm...scratch studying physics, ima be an engineer...wee!
