I discovered quite by accident just the other day that the fuel amount
marks are on the clear face.  Assuming this just vibrated around a bit,
just press in (for grip) and twist it to the right position.

I found this out waiting at a long light (6-way intersection) when I was
trying to tweak the orientation of the whole gauge (it was off by a few
degrees) when accidentally just twisted the fuel gauge tick-marks.  My
gas gauge is much more accurate now :)
