Default This is why you should never trust your fuel gages

This video was shot in a Cessna 206 taking us to a game reserve in South
Africa. Watch the fuel gage in the upper right corner.


This is typical for a Cessna and a few others where the fuel gauge uses the
same technology as a toilet tank float.

A fuel totalizer is a very nice thing to have.
