Mine is similar (except now the top of the white mark just above the red band seems to be "empty.") I think the white ticks, top to bottom, are "full," "3/4," "1/2," and "1/4" or something like that. They just didn't make any effort to make the scale linear, but instead reflected whatever reading they get based on the shape of the tank. |
