I routinely get 4.0-4.5 gallons on my horizontal tanks if I run them dry. If you are relying on the gauge, you will get more gas out after they first hit "E", so they may not have been empty when you filled them. Check the tare weight stamped on the tank, and then weigh the tank -- then you'll know for certain.
As far as I know, the OPD function of the horizontal tanks is the same as the vertical tanks -- that's why they must be filled in the vertical position. Filling them in the horizontal position overrides the OPD valve.
