So I ran nats (and I guess the challenge) with more gas. Oh well.
Now I'm wondering if my fuel gauge is wireless and it was reading your fuel level the whole time  |
We learned that lesson at Lincoln last year lol, renfield explained it, unless you throw about 3 gallons or more in the tank at once it doesn’t register as a fillup and keeps calculating fuel level based on consumption (I assume to minimize the needle bouncing around it rarely takes a real level reading). Guess it prevents getting a false level if parked on a hill or something? Idk. But yeah if you’re adding 1-2 gallons at a time the gauge will keep going down until you add about 3 gallons at once, might be able to get away with 2.5, I haven’t gotten scientific about it.
We panicked and did the same with an overfill halfway through the pro I think last year.
