As far as the fuel gauge, I cannot help you out but I can give you a bit of advice on using the fuel cell as a holding cell. I have had a 16-gallon cell on my rig for a number of years. It is plumbed into the main tank thru the filler vent via a small electric fuel pump. On the first trip out after mounting the cell my rig started running rough. When I stopped to found out what was wrong I had fuel pouring out of the charcoal canister. What was happening was the vacuum in the fuel system was pulling fuel from the cell, which was overfilling the main tank causing it to be pulled into the C.C. and being sucked into the engine causing a “rich condition”. I fixed this by installing a “ball valve” on the transfer line between the cell and the main tank.Mount the vent as high as you can and use a fairly large hose. If not you will be pukeing fuel out of it as the fuel expands from the heat. Here are some pictures of the cell mounted, ball valve, and vent.
