Good Product !
By Rob
from Qualicum Beach BC Canada
on Wednesday, December 15, 2010
Pros: Durable and easy to use
Cons: Hard to see the numbers at night
Review:
Easy to use and accurate. I'm a flight Instructor and purchased this product for my students. We used notched painting sticks till one of my students said that he figured we had enough fuel for the trip when actually we didn't, the stick had been marked incorrectly which startled me. I'll never use a paint mixing stick again. Now I know exactly how much fuel is in the plane at all times to the last drop, and so do my students.

Great product

Review:
One of the biggest problems with aircraft fuel gauges is accuracy. Although a simple idea, it lets the pilot fly with greater confidence in their actual fuel supply.

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!!

Every GA pilot should have one
By Eric P
from New Hartford CT USA
on Wednesday, June 03, 2015
Pros: Light weight, accurate measure, easy to use
Cons: Gallon markings can be worn off
Review:
GA aircraft are notorious for inaccurate fuel gauges, especially Cessnas. This fuel gauge will accurately tell you how much fuel is in your tanks. Don't fly without one. They're a great, no guess fuel reading at preflight. And it's inexpensive.

Simple but effective
By Jay
from Wheeling, IL (KPWK)
on Wednesday, May 30, 2007
Pros: So easy to use even a two year old can do it!
Cons: No valide excuse anymore for running out of 100LL
Review:
What can I say; works like it's supposed to. Better then climbing on the wing and looking into the tank. Also better than any other dipstick that I have used. Only downside is that it doesn't work so well when wearing gloves in the winter time. Must move somewhere warm 365 days a year to fully utilize the Fuel Hawk :-)
Buy one and use it! No more excuses for fuel exhaustion reports from the NTSB!

Does The Job Right
By Mark
on Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Pros: Accurate and price worthy.
Cons: None
Review:
The 172/19 model is the pipette you want if you operate a 172 with a total of 38 gallons, both wings combined. I have tested this pipette from several different states of fill and it reports fuel quantities accurately. If you have specific questions about which model to buy, the manufacturer will answer phone calls, very helpful.

Beware of what the description says.
By Joel
from Los Angeles CA USA
on Friday, July 18, 2008
Pros:
Cons: Description is not fully defined in the store.
Review:
Although I think the product itself is great, the online representation doesn't state that this fuel gauge is really for the older 172s. This is for lower capacity fuel tanks. Although there is a "high capacity" version, someone (like me) who doesn't know when Cessna introduced larger fuel tanks as standard will end up with a gauge that cannot accurately measure the fuel in newer 172s.

Perfect product - durable
By Christian
from Muelheim an der Ruhr NRW Germany
on Friday, August 05, 2016
Pros: durable
Cons: none in general - for metric users you just have to convert gal/ltr
Review:
Ordered these from Germany for various aircraft types in the fleet. I will place a new order soon for customers. The ones we had from a company in Germany are more glass type. Very rigid. They are even more expensive. Those broke latest after a couple of times of usage when bounced against hard surface. Fuelhawks are almost unbreakable compared to those we had before. They are even a little flexible which makes them hard to break by accident. Thumbs up!

Does the job
By A Customer

Pros: Simple and Effective
Cons: Wish the indications on the tool were engraved rather than printed
Review:
Great tool to have in the bag. Stupid simple to use and very helpful for determing fuel levels. I find myself checking the tank 3 times and getting an average as it is not always the exact same reading, but it gives you some peace of mind when you can put a number on gallons available, not just eyeballing 1/2 or 3/4 tanks. It would be nice though if they engraved the values into the material, as I can see the printed numbers getting scratched off over time

a decent rough guide
By Michael
from Eastsound WA USA
on Friday, June 13, 2008
Pros: errs on the side of caution
Cons: only roughly accurate
Review:
It reads a little lower than actual fuel available in my 172-N. One could say that is by design as it's measuring usable fuel rather than total fuel. But based on how much fuel the pump says it took from fill to fill, this dipstick overstates the fuel actually burned. It's an essential tool but I wish it were more accurate.
