Date - 3-24-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsI thought I was getting one for the 150, not 152. Concerned that even though the tanks are the same size, the useable fuel isn't. |
Date - 11-2-2010 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Solid fuel meter, easy to use and clearly marked. ConsMeant for 152 not 150, usable fuel different between the two though total fuel the same. General CommentsCould not find one for a 150 with 22.5 usable, would be great to have. |

Date - 3-4-2009 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Pretty idiot proof. I wouldn't take off without using it to check fuel. Routinely check it against fuel gages, and when we fill up. Seems to be quite accurate. Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General Comments I rated all 5, except durability 4. |

Date - 10-24-2008 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Who fills Cessna 150/2 tanks to the brim only to have an unknown quantity leak out that poorly designed vent? Not me. I don't guess how much usable fuel I have, I measure. Cons None really ... but some techniques give better results. See comments below. The plane should be level, as in flight, for most accurate results. I try not to rock the wings (i.e. slosh the tanks) when climbing up to take a reading. For best results, I insert the tube gently to the bottom of the tank and pause a moment until fuel stops bobbing up and down inside the tube. I take three readings per side and expect all three to agree. I then include total usable fuel in a log book along with oil level, hobbs time, date, and pilot initials. I confirm this data as part of my formal preflight. Last note, I never step down from a wing without first putting the fuel cap back on, completely, even if plannig to add fuel, etc ... because distractions occur. |
Date - 8-27-2008 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | An excellent way to end fuel quantity guessing. My FBO only fills to 75% for W&B (Cessna 150, 152). Will be great for cross countries when accuracy really counts. ConsNone General CommentsNone |

Date - 4-23-2008 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Very Easy to use and read. Dropped it once when climbing up on the wing, no chips or scratches. ConsShould come with a rubber grommet and strap, so you don't drop it into the tank. (no, i didn't do it yet!) General CommentsVery nice product, and helps give some comfort in checking actual fuel burn in the 1979 Cessna I'm renting. Tip, get a grommet from the hardware store and slip it over the end with a peice of string to put around your wrist. |
Date - 3-23-2008 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsI really needed one for a 150. Hoping that this one would work is my fault, not yours. You can tell people that this one is not accurate on a 150. |
Date - 3-19-2008 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsTakes the guess work out of what's in my tank! |
Date - 11-26-2007 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Being a high wing airplane this is much easier then pearing down into the tanks. ConsNone General CommentsGood buy and easy to check fuel left in tanks. |
Date - 11-16-2007 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Better than your electric gas gauge! Many old Cessnas have un-trustworthy or inaccurate electric gauges. Don't take chances with on fuel on board. ConsBe careful not to drop the stick into your wing tank. It's happened more than once. General CommentsFits in your flight bag. Carry one with you at all times. |
