Hello....

Haven't purchased 'Rocket' yet, will buy soon, been procrastianting..... FYI, 'no way' I can get old gauge out of tank, because of height restrictions. Not sure how it was installed in the first place? Must have been installed, then shed built around tank ? Who knows, bit definitely poor engineering!

Anyway, I have just taken a measurement 'in tank' with my tape measure..
44" inches from bottom of tank to top. Oil measured about 27-28".
Based upon what has been indicated in this thread and 40" would be a full tank, it would sound like 28" would be 2/3 full?

Comments?
