3/4 tank is 14.25 gal = 89.775 lbs.

1/2 tank is 9.5 gal = 59.85 lbs.

1/4 tank is 4.75 gal. = 29.925 lbs.

So for each 1/4 tank. You have about 30 lbs of weight that is almost centered in the Z. It might not seem like much. But it does have an effect.
Interesting. I will keep that in mind next time.
