Don't Use the Wrong One!

  • By Donald from Plymouth NH USA on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
  • Pros: accurate when you have the right stick
  • Cons: The wrong stick is still labeled C182 leading you to believe it is correct
  • Review: A club member had a 182 gauge stick that was not the correct one for our 1980 Turbo RG 182. It showed 10 gallons left when we had about 2 gallons left. I bought the correct model stick and got a real eye opener.

valuable tool

  • By A Customer from Burlington MA USA on Monday, August 05, 2013
  • Pros: simple to use and easy to read
  • Cons:
  • Review: As most of us know, the only reliable fuel indication a pilot can get from the gauges is "EMPTY", so this simple add-on to my flight bag has proved to be of great value. Simple to use and easy to read, this product has met all my expectations and posted description. Please, just make sure to order the right one for the equipment you are flying, or adjust its scale, if you get the generic FuelHawk. The only suggestion I would make would be the introduction of some sort of wrist band attached to a collar on the top portion of the stick, to prevent any chance of having it sliding into the tank itself.

Peace of Mind!

  • By A Customer from Fort Worth TX USA on Friday, January 25, 2008
  • Pros: Easy to read. No moving parts to wear out.
  • Cons: Haven't found any yet
  • Review: [This review refers to the FuelHawk Cessna 172 Long Range Fuel Gauge version] Ever looked into that deep, dark hole called a fuel tank and wondered just how much fuel is really in there? I always hated that and now there is no more wondering for me. I have a lot more peace of mind knowing exactly how much fuel is in each tank before take-off. I used the "stick method" in the past and all you really know is that you have 5" of fuel but how many gallons is that? How many inches per hour does your airplane use? I didn't know either. The fuel hawk gives you a readout in gallons which is useful information that you can actually use in calculations without having to guess. Great product!!

GREAT PRODUCT TO CHECK FUEL AND FUEL BURN

  • Review: What a simple concept for keeping you safe. It's always nice to know exactly how much fuel you have. Never ever trust the gages 100%.
