Send me your email address and I will send you the tools and charts we use for our annual economy run. I'm sure more than you need to. Know.

Model T sticks are no where near an A tank for reading fuel level. That's what the photo above shows and the ebay ad.

These posts don't indicate whether they are for 28,29 or 30,31.
Does anyone have a dipstick calibrated in litres and centimetres / millimetres? and stating whether 28-29 or 30-31. Maybe our European A owners?

During the 2 years after my cork sank and I got around to fixing it, this is the method I used. The question was limited to "Do I have at least 2 inches of gas?

The calibration then consists of:

2 inches of gas
Gas level visible in window
Gas level exceeds window
