I think it has to do with the pick up location not the gauges. I put new Livorsi gauge and float system in my Mistress and at 1/4 tank you better be close to a gas pump and my Top Gun is the same way. I wander if they keep the pick high to keep from picking up water or dirt that has settled to the bottom.

I installed the Livosi senders in my Black Thunder. 1/4 on the gauge = fillup. They do seem to be very accurate, or at least more accurate than the stock side float style. Joe Murray

I was doing a water delivery from Ft. Lauderdale to Hobe Sound once on a brand-new boat and ran the tanks dry when the gauges still read 1/4.
No radio had been installed yet, no cell phones back then either.
Thank God for good Samaritans! Was rescued BEFORE boat hit the rocks.
