Up until the point that the main tank is completely drained, you will not see any change in fuel readings. You'll only see the gauge drop after the second tank has started depleting.

I haven't tested this out, I'm just going from what I read.

That's correct, the top fuel tank feeds the lower one and it is the lower one that is measured by the fuel gauge. We have the gauge showing lower tank contents continually, in fact you had to press the button beside it to have the gauge register the lower tank contents. The button's there, 1C have obviously decided not to bother us with that.
