Hey Rich,
	Technically, the "RED ZONE" should indicate about 2 gallons of gas left...
and I've found mine to be pretty accurate.  
	I've run it to the bottom of the red zone (i.e. just about to touch the
bottom-most line) twice... The first time I got 13.271 gallons in, the
second time 13.167 gallons. So, basically once you're about 1/2 way into
the red, you have about a gallon left.
	Remember, I have 2 new fuel pumps and a new gas tank, so I'm not concerned
with sediment and shit and the bottom-- if your tank and pumps have been
around a while, be careful! =)
	HTH!
