The only way I have ever been able to "calibrate" a vehicle fuel gauge is to remove the sending unit, bend the float arm, and reinstall the unit. Repeat as necessary until the desired calibration is achieved.
The sending unit will very likely be in the top of the tank, approximately in the middle. Since the manufacturers usually are not smart enough to build an access panel in the floor, the only means of access is to lower the tank.
Good luck.
This thread applies to Monaco ROADMASTER chassis fuel systems. ONLY Roadmaster designed their tank senders with an adjustment POT accessible without removing the tank. Freightliner/Spartan/Ford/Chevy/Workhorse have no such adjustment system. Doug
Thanks. Since I have never owned a Monaco of any kind, I did not know that. My statement was based, as always, purely on personal experience.
I learned something today.
