Simple to use and accurate. We have the Monarch fuel caps, it gets stuck on the flapper, however, we take the case that the fuel stik comes in, slide it over the tube, and out it comes.

This works great and I love the tube that comes with it so there is no fuel in the plane.

The Fuel Stik is an easy way to check fuel levels even when wearing gloves. Its fast, accurate, and easy to read, and not likely to be dropped into the fuel tank.

We have a 1975 Cessna T210L. This definitely works for what it is designed for. You put the stick in. It tells you how much fuel there is. Very simple. Very helpful if one of your tank gauges doesnt work.

With a Cardinal 177B, it works perfect. There are no other fuel tubes (sticks) I could find calibrated for a 177. I did see a comment that it may have an issue if you have Monarch fuel caps. I dont and it works great on my plane. N30820!

Q&A

Please note, Aircraft Spruce's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: Before I place my order - Please confirm that the FuelStik Master will work on any of the listed aircraft provided that I download and print the specific aircraft fuel data from the website? So Im guesiing that the option for Cessna FuelStik and Piper FuelStick is exactly the same? Apart from the fact that you receive different printouts to go with the FuelStick... So the numbering/levels that are engraved on the outside of the FuelStick, are all the same for Piper, Cessna, Cirrus etc?

Yes, all the FuelStiks are physically the same. However there is no printing on the actual product, only on the scale that slips inside the float tube. While it is true that any of the available scales can be printed from the website, we stock most of them ready to go for the available aircraft so that step would not be required.

Q: I have a 182E. 30 gal usable. Will the 182P work for me since it indicates its for 30 gal usable?

Yes, it will work for you. The specific aircraft application won't matter for these, it actually depends on the usable gallons.

Q: I have a Cessna 150D patroller with 38 gallon total fuel capacity what tester is best for my aircraft thec17.5 (c172) one

You would choose the fuel stik that matches the useable gallon for your aircraft. If none are available you would then choose the Master universal stik so that you can calibrate it to make it specific for your aircraft.
