Someone tell me if this is wrong:

From left to right:
Full (306 gal), 75% (230 gal), 50% (153 gal), 25% (76 gal), Empty
EDIT: Whoops, P-38L and J hold 416 gallons, not 306, and that matches with the IL-2 fuel weight of 1164 kg. Did they have gauges for the leading edge tanks? In any case, I'll just assume fuel is drawn from the leading edge tanks first, so the fuel gauges will start moving at about 74% fuel.
