But if you want real accuracy you want a sight fuel level gauge. None of this mechanical stuff, see fuel you have fuel.

And I thought I had a hard time changing the oil in my M400, must be a bitch to turn the car on its side every time.

True story. The one in the Cub's been known to get stuck. That's a bad day for sure.

"cop stache"? Is that why shady looking strangers get nervous when I walk in?

Maybe they think you are a mob boss out of uniform ......

Actually I wasn't thinking of the float type, I was thinking more of the glass sight tube type that shows fuel in it as the indicator. I flew a couple of kit planes that had those type gauges in them.

I know. That's why I'm contrasting sight gauge with personal experience of even the simplest mechanism. See fuel - got fuel.
