I copied this some time ago.
Back on to the calibrated gas gauge “stick”; it is made from a ¼” dowel rod and measures 11-5/8” from the tip to the end of the inexpensive-wood-drawer-knob. The measurements – if you are inclined to make one for your self – are 1 gal = 1-11/16”; 2 gal = 2-5/8”; 3 gal = 3-7/16”; 4 gal = 4-1/16”; 5 gal = 4-11/16”; 6 gal = 5-1/4”; 7 gal = 5-7/8”; 8 gal = 6-1/2”; 9 gal = 7-1/16”; 10 gal = 7-3/4”; and 11 gal = 8-5/8.” After filing a shallow grove at these levels and labeling every other grove using a wood burner, I shellacked the stick. It’s served as a backup for 34 years (yes, I do have an operable gas gauge) and I just toss it on the package tray behind the seat when not in use. Not exactly high-tech but then…
