But half full will still be half of the total tank capacity or 9 gal.
So when you 'filled' a half tank with 4.3 gal..... 9 + 4.3 = 13.3 I think that is pretty close to the full mark of 14.4 gal
And as was mentioned, the indicator lights are really crude....

Brilliant. It never dawned on me that the float would be calibrated to total tank volume. If I go back and look at my logs the math works out +/- 1 gallon.
