Gas Tank Question

My EL has the 33 gallon tank


I've filled it 4-5 times since I bought it, and this has occured each time.


At 1/4 tank, I put in about 20 gallons. Gauge reads full.


30-40 miles later, Gauge reads 3/4 full.




So...is my gauge messed up?

or am I not filling it up all the way?




each successive 1/4 of a tank afterwards gets 80+ miles...so I'm inclined to think I'm just not gettting her filled up.
I let the pump run til it kicks off...so maybe the gas needs to work around the baffles?

next time, I'm going to let it sit 1-2 minutes, and then try putting some more in there


anybody else seen this?
