Does anyone here, knows the liters numbers marcation for Nieuport 24/27 fuel gauges? 
I'm painting a new HR texture for EmlD's cockpits. They uses one made for the SPADs  and I would like to be more specific for late Nieuport versions.

One thing that would help is to know the exact amount of fuel liters used in Nieuport 24 & 27 tanks. So I can distribute the numbers around the dial and draw
it on Photoshop.

Searching on my books & web, but no lucky so far.

The stock of gasoline and oil was enough for a two-hour flight, but fuel gauges was a rarity.

There are such books about Nieuports:
Windsock Datafile Special - Nieuport Fighters vol. 12
Crowood - Nieuport Aircraft of World War One

Usually they write that Nieuport-17, -23, -27 types had a gasoline tank with a capacity of 68 liters (it is noted that the fuel tank capacity of the Nieuport-27 didn't increase compared to its predecessors).

But you can also find other data:
