Most likely not, 3 of us worked on it on a customers dime.THAT is a ridiculous amount of work. You're a better man than me.

You have me wrong, I am not offended. I see something that is not right and correct it or try to make better understanding. yakelys69 quoted me saying I check the 1/2 tank then types that he would love to here from any vendor that checked 1/2 tank reading. I do not know him and don't know if he knew I was a vendor or what. Anyway, I was not offended just not sure what was meant. The gauges, I was not offended here either, I did not design the gauge/sender, was not even born at the time. It works O.K. if everything is right. And would be too expensive to make a precision gauge. Anyway sorry if I offended anyone it was not my intentChuck, please stop taking offense too our dismay on these tanks no-body is blaming you for the inaccuracy of these tanks!
What we would like too see is, if you could offer us some resolve too our problems.....You have WOWED us with the innovative stuff you offer, just put some of your guy's on a mission too fix the problem with these tanks an sell us the solution. Everyone would PAY too resolve it, I know I would!
I am glad to hear/read that a vendor is looking into these types of issues. The attitude that Chuck has (wanting to fix the issue to provide a better product) is awesome.
I have done business with chuck before and this motivates me use Chuck over other vendors.
Thanks Chuck and keep up the good work!

Thanks guys, I am looking but no fix yet. This is what I have found so far.
The Ford Fuel Level sensor with a 73-10ohm range operates with the following ohm ranges for Full, Half, Empty, and Below Empty:
Full: 10ohms
Half Tank: 25ohms
Empty: 50ohms
Pointer Width Below E: 73ohms
"If you have replaced the original equipment Ford sending unit in your vehicle with an aftermarket sending unit, you may notice that the gauge will match the sending unit at the Full and Empty portions of the scale, but that the readings in between will not match up. The reason for this is that some aftermarket senders operating with the 73-10ohm range now utilize a linear movement instead of the original non-linear scale. The comparative ohm reading difference for Full, Half, and Empty have been supplied below for your reference.
Full: 10ohms
Half Tank: 41ohms
Empty: 73ohms
As you can see these numbers differ radically from those of the factory Ford sending units and have a drastic effect upon the gauge readings."
That info is from autometer, their fix is to move the 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 markings on their gauge to match the factory sender
