The point that you guys seem to be missing is that when the tank is full, and the needle is pegged, it still has farther to go. If you were to remove the stopping pin at the full mark, the needle would go beyond it, and you would see start to drop right away, as gas was used. It's not that the float design is such that the sender continues to think the tank is full until you use up a gallon or two so that the float moves. The float moves right away.

so then why dont they change the ratio so the needle moves less and its coordinated to fit the area designed for the gas gauge? this way it would be accurate...i hope you are seeing my point in all of this...lol...cuz i see yours...
