MinneMooney Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 This fuel gauging tool came with my plane when I purchased it. After seeing others post about using paint stir sticks to try to gauge their tanks, I thought I should post information in case anyone wanted to make one of these for themselves. Mine is fabricated from aluminum sheet metal and painted black. As you can see, it’s angled so that it protrudes into the tank towards the wing root. Gauging markings are scribed on both sides and labeled right/left. I have checked it many times when refueling and have found it to be generally within a gallon. However, I have not drained the tanks and checked it while refilling. I have standard 52 gallon tanks. Feel free to ask any questions. 1
