My guage reads full at 11 gallons but seems to read reasonable accurately between 0 and 11gall. Having said that, it lags when i am filling the wing tanks. if I switch off and on again, it will read about 1 gallon less. I don't think any of us should trust guages. It is easy to make a short light-coloured wooden stick and dip it in the tank to check the contents. Drain the tank, add 5 galls and make a notch in the stick at 5 gallon intervals. It takes a little practice to feel the bottom of the tank because it slopes but as long as you are consistent with the angle you insert the stick, you will get accurate results. When filling the tank, if you look inside at the top center of the tank, you will see a round white nylon bushing in the middle of the tank (part of the sender mount). When the fuel touches the bottom of this bushing, it is about full. A maglite is ideal to shine a point of light while keeping the flashlight well away from the tank.
