[Public-List] Fuel Guage after-the-fact

You probably won't like this answer, and the others even less as it 

On Isa Lei, I had fuel gauges, but when they started acting up I simply plugged the holes and started keeping an engine log.  Every time I refuel I enter the engine hours and gallons.  I also enter all filter and fluid changes.  I know my consumption rate so it is easy for me to know my remaining engine range and when to refuel.

Some people don't like this method since there is some responsibility (making entries in the log) and thinking (how much fuel is left in the tank)
