I cut a piece of 2X4 with a angled edge. When I pull up to the pump I drop it in front of the left rear tire, and raise that end up slightly.

Consistent fill ups and about 50-60 miles range to the same point on the gauge when it gets to about 400 miles on the odometer.

One day I will carry some extra fuel and run it out to see what the gauge reads, but the way the needle oscillates, you can probably get a pretty good idea when it stops moving altogether. I think one time I got over 9 gallons in it but I don't like to run in tank electric fuel pumps dry. In my opinion since they are cooled by the fuel, it could shorten the life of the pump.
