The only time these are relatively accurate is on level ground without agitation. Many (most?) aircraft are not refuelled in a flying attitude so the initial reading is inaccurate, then in flight the wet stuff is sloshing around - challenging to read accurately with a float. Which is why sight gauges are so popular - and the accurate light aircraft fuel gauge is an oxymoron. Who said anything about a float? I can think of three ways of doing it without one, and that's off the top of my head in ten seconds. There will be many, many others. Ian |
