    so my vacuum petcock doesn't open when it should. what i've done as a temporary fix is just turn it to prime and turn it off when i park it. my question is does prime use the reserve level or the normal level tube?

    Good luck fuferman with your pet(edited). Think they might have the nasty word software (edited) down a little tight?

    You still have your reserve, when you switch from pri to res.

    Mine seems accurate enough for what four bars can tell me. The last time I let it read only one bar, it took right around 3 gallons to fill. I haven't yet had to flip it over to reserve.
