Thanks for sharing the good information, Gene.

Once again, I like Zongshen's fuel gauge feature. As the fuel gauge nears empty, you are nearing the 1-gallon of reserve fuel, and it is time to fill the gas tank. In an emergency you can use the reserve fuel, but you should avoid this situation if you wish to extend the life of the fuel pump.
