[V8] Fuel never reads Full

There is an adjustment for the gauge.  IIRC, with a completely full tank
you pull off the red autocheck button (under the odo reset), and put a
long micro-screwdriver in the hole to adjust the gauges potentiometer. 
Hold onto the red button firmly when pulling, it has a tendency to find
the "no man's land" under the parking brake lever if dropped...but then
again, just about everything seems to gravitate towards this spot in my
car.

My memory is a bit sketchy, so check the manual before doing anything,
the procedure is in there somewhere.
