Try sticking some siphon hose in the tank and see of that contacts the float and alters the reading at all. Otherwise add another 5 gallons.

Thanks Steve, will try that. I believe prior to getting the car the gauge would sit about E but Pin to empty when the ignition was turned, worth a shot.
Appreciate it.
