Not at all linear.  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.
