I have really poor results with the accuracy of my fuel level. Is this normal or is there a problem. My first 1/2 tank of gas from full is very accurate but once I get below 50% it drops like a rock. I have had the gage showing from 0-5% fuel remaing and will still have 40+% fuel remaining.

which gauge are you using to monitor the tank level, and which calibration method (of the 3 available) did you use to calibrate the gauge?

Never knew there was more than one smart craft gage? I have never done calibration, that was done at dealer.

If these are the gauges you have, look at page 22-23 for the calibration procedure. The dealer may not have done #3, which would be the most accurate.
