I could bend the arm to accomodate but I wonder about the lower end readings??

and the lower end readings are whats important as when the needle is square on the E you want enough gas to make it to the next station and the gauge stays on F for quite awhile before it starts to move because the gas level w a full tank is above the float as the float is maxed out as high as it will go and does not start to drop until the gas level drops a certain amount.
