Subject: [LML] Fuel probe calibration

I am trying to calibrate the fuel probes on my IV and trying to determine when I should see an indication on the fuel = probes. Can other IV builders tell me how many gallons they had in the tank before = they saw a increase in output from the fuel probe. I have the EI = P300C probes.
