ok makes me feel better, thanks!

i have seen (when near bone dry), that i can have as much as a 20 gallon difference - where possible i try to fill one side at a time (even in a master / slave pump island) so that i can monitor the gallonage / consumption per side.

in the picture above you can see i only covered 500 miles (1/2 a tank on the dash/gauge) and was 13 gallons lower on the drivers side (where the float is).
