Default How to fill and calibrate '35 hydrostatic fuel gauge?

Ford Barn members, I am trying to get my '35 fuel gauge functional once again. I have found a company in SC who can clean it. Also found a source for the red fluid from Renner's Corner. I would appreciate guidance on how to add the right amount of red fluid and calibrate the gauge. My Dad and David Renner noted a '32 service bulletin as a guide. Any other references on this as I would really like to know how much gas is in the tank. Many Thanks. Steve
