Flew a 172 over to field where FAA Instructor was located to get my
Instructor Rating renewed after retiring. Don't tell me I should have
known what would happen. Wing tank guage went out on way over (15
minute flight).

FAA instructor grounded the aircraft because of bad guage and I had to
go get a ferry permit to get bird home to get repaired.

Way the system goes.

I have scheduled a plane for this weekend and reviewed the squak sheet. I
noted that the Fuel Gauge for one of the fuel tanks is Inop. I originally
thought this to be no big deal, but, upon further review of the FAR section
91.205, have found that it is a required peice of equipment for a day VFR
flight. Is my understanding of 91.205 correct? Without operative fuel
gauges for both tanks the plane is not air worthy?
