Fuel stick


Recommended Posts

I made this right after joining MooneySpace, so it's a little more than 7 years old and I use the stick in my tanks probably 20 times a year x 2 tanks = about 280 times.  It still looks like I made it last week.  I used a Lowes paint stick and a standard (free) ball point pen I got from a hotel.

Its very easy to read, and by the time you get to the other tank it's evaporated.

Try this.
FuelStik
Works great.  Need at least 11 gallons in the wing of a J before it starts to float to give an indication.

I have one of these. Best thing I own. The fuel in LBS on the otherside of the tube can be useful as well.

Shouldn’t the higher numbers at the top of the stic?

No... In this configuration what's wet equals present fuel in the tank.

I tried to make a fuel stick when I was installing (and calibrating) my JPI.  I failed miserably.  I was trying to use a paint stir stick as suggested above, but the fuel soaked up all over the stick and I could never tell what level I was supposed to be marking.  Oh well, the JPI is way more accurate than my old Garwin gauges...  I Probably should have installed the digital senders that are available...
