Yeah its been puzzling me. I believe the secone thick line is the halfway but it cant be, has to be qtr. info is nowhere to be found

I'm curious my self. Just broke out the owners manual with no luck. All it said was the orange part is the reserve tank.

Fuel gauge is:
All the way to the right Full
Half way in the middle Half Full
On the mark or at the red mark 2.5 gallons remain.
Empty is when the car sputters to a stop and the gauge is all the way to the left.

There is no reserve tank.

I'm usually about halfway through my miles-per-tank distance when the needle is straight up and down. ymmv.

On the mark or at the red mark 2.5 gallons remain.

Manual says: "...about 1.8 gallons of fuel left in the tank. Time to refuel."

My experience with MkI fuel gauges: carburated cars w/ mechanical fuel pump, tank is empty & car stops when needle is about 2mm past the end of the red zone; GTI/K-jetronic with electric fuel pump, cars stop when the needle is about 1mm BEFORE the end of the red zone, was a bad surprise when upgrading from 50PS to 110PS, everything else was quite pleasant
