Peter,
How low did the gauge read? How much did you think you had before adding the 5
gallons? What did it read after? Did you top it off and see of the numbers
added up?
I agree it sound
You will have some air in the line. I suggest praying you don't have to.
You could try clamping the hose so you don't introduce any more air than
necessary.

Ok, so I have been down this road and it took me several year to figure it
out. If your boat is like mine (35 Mk II), you have a transverse tank
under the cockpit. The pickup is on the starboard end. When the tank is
about 1/2 full and you heel the boat about 30 degrees to port, the fuel
pick up

Petar — it might be that the fuel pickup tube is corroded, and either doesn’t
drop as far down into the fuel as it should/used to, or you have some pits in
it above the half-tank level that allow air it. Sounds like time to pull and
check it
Great, just as I thought work is done, and its time to enjoy summer
