Yeah and it’s those smaller US gallon too so that will help too 😜
Yes I have gotten better listening for the pitch change so together with a cloth we should be able to stop the spills.
Is there anything g you can do to improve the gauge accuracy. I see new sender units on Catalina Direct does swapping it out help?
Cheers, Ian Neale.
