Perhaps on the new models. But on older models this is just flat out
wrong. My gauge has an F and an E and four lines, that's it.

Gee, I've seen some pretty old airplanes and they all had the fuel quantity
calibrated on their gauges.

Of course I could be wrong. It is not like that would be a new experience
for me. :-)

The only place the majority of Cessnas even list the quantity where it
is visible is on the fuel selector.
