Here is one source: www.mypilotstore.com/mypilotstore/sep/1177

It's easy to calibrate. I have the FuelHawk shown in the link; the calibration for my 337G with extended range tanks is shown below :

Mark Gallons (Usable)
0 31.8
1 37.8
2 42.7
3 46.1
4 49.4
5 52.5
6 54.8
7 57.0

Hi Ernie, isn't the 1973 337G 59 gallons useful. Your gauge tops at 57?
Just wondering.
Gord

Seven is the highest wet marker. Completely full (59) is at a line somewhere between 7 and 8.

Ahhh, ok now I get it. I just ordered one. I was always filling the tanks and relying on the Shadin to tell me how much fuel I had left. I never felt really comfortable doing that.
Thanks Ernie.
Gord

Thank you, Ernie! Proof that there is no such thing as an old topic. I just bought a G, and this was to be the first order of business!

Of course, I will verify the numbers for my airplane but hoped to establish a minimum fuel load for takeoff referenced to the "zero" point that you have measured. That is the only thing about the extended tanks, lack of a visual check, but I'm happy to have the airplane. Too bad that Cessna never engineered a drip stick on the inboard tank. I've used them plenty of times on the airliners I've flown. Probably enough pilot vs. fuel problems to begin with. Why fly if you can't see it?

I have been looking at CiES fuel sensors and Aerospace Logic display since I got into my plane in March. Have spoken with both CiES and Aerospace Logic. Also Possibly newer Electronics International engine monitor with the CiES sensors. Been slowed down with other maintenance items. Of course always dip the tanks.

The more I look at them; I'm thinking the Insight Gem 4 Skymaster over the JPI 760. I like the display a lot better. I'm also thinking of the Strike Finder as well. I have the ForeFlight stuff on the iPad, but I love doubling up on information.

I had a WX-10 in my Piper Pacer commuter, it saved my bacon many night.
