Ok. I was almost sure that was the case and saw no way of simply marking
the indicator as INOP and flying. I understand the "Both" fuel selector
and can see how you could end up draining both tanks due to a leak.
Something as seemingly minor as a fuel gauge leaving an otherwise air
worthy plane on the ground... sigh...

Yes, plane is not airworthy. We talk a lot about airplanes having bad
fuel gauges but most will read correctly at empty, they just don't
always read right at full. Its good to know if you are leaking fuel. I
had a quick drain develop a pretty bad leak at one point. If this had
been a Cessna (with a "both" selector) it would have drained both
tanks!
