Bill,
The reason your fuel gauge may be at E when you have a half tank is that there are 2 sizes of fuel senders that Newell parts was selling as replacements. I needed a new sender 2 years ago and by measurement of the tank Newell sent me the one I installed, but it was the wrong size and is 3" to short ! Rather than taking it out and buying a new larger one, I just know that when I am on E that I have about 115 gallons left. I use the Silverleaf to determine mileage and distance to next needed fuel stop and it's good to know that someone else has the same benefit as I do. Ha
