The fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel in the fuel tanks.
Besides empty and full, the gauge
also indicates 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 of
total capacity. You will want to keep
your fuel tanks at least half full to
reduce condensation of moisture in
the tanks. This moisture can damage
your engine.
