Sheeesh. Only pumped out a little over three quarts? Ran it for a good 15 minutes prior to pulling her

Suction tube was a good two inches longer (deeper) than the dipstick.

Added 3 quarts
Drove it.
Added another 1/2 qt. To top off filter.
Reads full


What am I missing? How come it didn’t pull 5qt out?

Also put a bimini top on her….
Seemed level. Did it on the trailer.
