Pretty idiot proof. I wouldn't take off without using it to check fuel. Routinely check it against fuel gages, and when we fill up. Seems to be quite accurate.

General Comments
I rated all 5, except durability 4.
I end up ordering one about yearly, because for one stupid reason or other, I break them-drop it, step on it, etc. It is only plastic. Not the products fault.

Pros
Who fills Cessna 150/2 tanks to the brim only to have an unknown quantity leak out that poorly designed vent? Not me. I don't guess how much usable fuel I have, I measure.
Cons
None really ... but some techniques give better results. See comments below.
General Comments
The plane should be level, as in flight, for most accurate results. I try not to rock the wings (i.e. slosh the tanks) when climbing up to take a reading. For best results, I insert the tube gently to the bottom of the tank and pause a moment until fuel stops bobbing up and down inside the tube. I take three readings per side and expect all three to agree. I then include total usable fuel in a log book along with oil level, hobbs time, date, and pilot initials. I confirm this data as part of my formal preflight. Last note, I never step down from a wing without first putting the fuel cap back on, completely, even if plannig to add fuel, etc ... because distractions occur.

An excellent way to end fuel quantity guessing. My FBO only fills to 75% for W&B (Cessna 150, 152). Will be great for cross countries when accuracy really counts.

Very Easy to use and read. Dropped it once when climbing up on the wing, no chips or scratches.
Cons
Should come with a rubber grommet and strap, so you don't drop it into the tank. (no, i didn't do it yet!)
General Comments
Very nice product, and helps give some comfort in checking actual fuel burn in the 1979 Cessna I'm renting. Tip, get a grommet from the hardware store and slip it over the end with a peice of string to put around your wrist.

I really needed one for a 150. Hoping that this one would work is my fault, not yours. You can tell people that this one is not accurate on a 150.

Pros
Better than your electric gas gauge! Many old Cessnas have un-trustworthy or inaccurate electric gauges. Don't take chances with on fuel on board.
Cons
Be careful not to drop the stick into your wing tank. It's happened more than once.
General Comments
Fits in your flight bag. Carry one with you at all times.
