No 100LL in Great Harbour Cay. I do have a calibrated dipstick but it starts showing fuel at 37 gallons, so if you have less -- and the 1-hour flight to Miami with 100% margin requires only 20 gallons per tank -- it's useless.

I don't have a 337 fuel dipstick, so I didn't realize they were so limited. I guess this is one time that there's no substitute for working analog gauges.

Because the wings are dihedral (higher at the tip) there is no fuel visible at the fueling port until you have 37 gallons in the tank.

I flew a few Twin Bonanzas. Those guys figured out a hockey-stick shaped dipstick that went sideways toward the plane to get to the fuel that wasn't visible at the port. Not sure if that's possible on a 337.
