Erratic fuel gauges

[edasmus]

I have started to give thought to alternate means of determining fuel quantity but I am not ready to give up yet on the Cessna gauges. Mine have worked very well until about 3 weeks ago and we are still working the problem. I will have an update in a few days. I do agree with Jeff in that knowing the quantity or at least close to it is important. I have an expectation when I fly as to what the gauges should say and if I see something different, I want to know why. Especially if one gauge is dropping quickly. I feel it is the only way to know that fuel is not exiting the airplane through a hole in the wing. As for knowing precise fuel flow, I am not ready to make that leap yet. As long as I can "guesstimate" within a 2 or 3 gallons at the pump what the airplane should take erroring on the side of caution and confirm that fuel is not leaving the wing through a hole, I feel that is an acceptable level of safety. Thank you for the input.
