The amount below the drain is a gallon?! The POH says it’s 1 gallon unusable (below the fuel pickup).

I I understand Anthony's post, it has to be less than a gallon (Level 1). Unusable would be Level 2.

remember, gasoline requires a NAKED FLAME to ignite, a cigar but will just go out...

FYI

Gasoline does not require a flame to ignite. It will ignite if exposed to any surface that is above 540 C. Our exhaust manifolds are that hot near the cylinders.

A cigarette or cigar cherry will get to about 500 C if sucked hard. So it will not light gasoline vapors.
