Never had an 1800 but have had Volvos on both sides (444, 544, 122, 144,
164, etc) as well as other cars. ALL of them were quite non-linear and
no amount of moving in slots would make much difference. They take a LONG
time to go down to half full and nose dive from there. I think it must be
related to the in-tank pickup geometry, and could probably be remedied a lot
by a little mechanical redesign but it might cost a couple dollars more per
car. (in million quantities)
