Red face gas gauge

Is there a way to calibrate the gas gauge, mine is off by prob. 4-5 gallons, once the needle hits empty i can put about 25 gallons in it(30 gallon tank). Its not really a problem, but it would be nice to know when im really empty.

A 30 gallon tank? Is that some kind of after market tank?
