My DCT/CSC trike was built with an auxiliary fuel tank. My question; does the fuel gauge read just the GW fuel tank or total fuel on board?

My CSC/Goldwing fuel gage measures the original tank level. From my experience what I see is the needle starts to move after the first 30 to 35 miles and goes down rather rapidly until about the 3/4 level. Then is is real slow to get down to 1/2 tank. And slower after that. When my warning light comes on I still have over 2 gallons in the tanks. I don't know for sure but I suspect the aux. tanks' top is slightly lower than the OEM tank and the bottom of the aux. tank is relatively even with that of the OEM. Anyway, that's how the fuel gage is reacting..... Jim

Todd, thank you for the photo it helped me to understand how the system works. This will enable me to make better use of the auxiliary tank and my fuel system in general. Just one thing, could you please show where the Honda takes fuel out of the tank and sends it to the engine? Curious minds want to know!
