SAE actually had a standard way of filling for their fuel economy rallies, too. Something like fill it with a fully squeezed handle until it clicks off. Then squeeze the handle halfway until it clicks off. Then squeeze it a quarter of the way until it clicks off. Then you have a good chance of a more consistent "full" tank.
Yeah, I forgot. I plan on using a stick to verify fill height is the same. My truck is a 65, so there isn't anything in the neck.
