Can't help you re either one, but may I suggest you not bother with the fuel gauge? I have a fuel gauge on my Yamaha (and none on the GZ, like everyone else.) The fuel gauge is not as useful as you might think. They go down to "E" when there is still about a gallon left so you don't really know when you are REALLY gonna run out anyway. On the Strat there is no reserve switch, (and it weighs 850 pounds) so you don't dare run out. I start thinking about gas when I'm down to a half tank, cause I've had some scares on my various middle of nowhere adventures.

Set your trip odometer when you fill up. You'll get between 140 and 180 miles out of a tank before you need to switch to reserve. Depends on how you drive, what kind of shape your Geezer is in and, how fat you are I guess. Regardless, it's usually pretty consistent. Reserve is about a gallon - go to the gas station when you flip to reserve. Having a gas gauge isn't going to tell you any much more than the odometer as far as "about how much is left." The reserve concept works well.
