Yes, add gas. :-) Just kiddin'. Maybe you could look at how the sending unit works and bend sown the rod that the floater thing is on so that it would read a higher level on the guage for a given level of gas?

meek shall inherit the earth. After I'm finished with it.:wq!
'74 Bus, unlike earlier years *can* be adjusted. But it is like working on a watch movement. I strongly recommend living with it.
You should do this test: ground the sender wire. If the gauge goes to FULL, the vibrator and gauge are probably working correctly and the sender calibration may be off.

Hehe, yep, that's the quickest way. ;-)
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
