Best method for accurate measuring is to fill the tank 10 gallons (or whatever) at a time dipping the tank for each 10 gallons added.
Exactly how mine is done but in 20 gal increments. *We're not dealing with automobiles with 20 gal tanks and every gal you can squeeze in counts. *I dip my tanks before fueling and shoot for 10-15 gals under FULL. *I figure this should compensate for the angle of the boat at any given time and I shouldn't have to worry about a fuel spill and its "close enuff" to full for me. *If I get down to 30 gallons in a tank I'm looking for the nearest fuel dock anyway.
