Overview

The Original Fuel Stop! Never lose a plastic fuel straw gauge again!

The Fuel Stop is a simple tool that snaps onto a standard straw fuel gauge and prevents the gauge from ever slipping into the tank.

Works with FuelHawk, or any other 1/2" diameter fuel gauge tube. .

It also becomes extremely handy when it's necessary to set the gauge on the wing, as it will stay put and not roll off to disappear into the grass or onto the pavement. The Fuel Stop can be kept separately in your pilot bag to quickly snap onto a gauge that comes with a rental aircraft, or kept permanently installed in your own aircraft for regular use. The Fuel Stop is also shaped like a set of red pilot wings which makes finding the gauge in your pilot bag or aircraft seat pocket a snap.

Have you ever lost a plastic fuel gauge when checking the available fuel in your aircraft? Has it slipped into the tank? Rolled off the wing and then disappeared onto the ground? These are very common occurrences that most pilots don't brag about, but it happens all the time. The Fuel Stop has talked to mechanics that routinely pull them out of aircraft gas tanks. So why take a chance? The Fuel Stop is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy.

Just snap it on and relax. The Fuel Stop also acts as a grip to make handling and checking fuel easier. It's also shaped like a set of pilot's wings that, when installed, makes finding the gauge in the aircraft seat back pocket or your flight bag easy. Add one to your pilot bag of tricks today!

Bought this for Cessna 172’s 25 Gal fuel dipsticks for the flight school I’m attending. In the past 3 months someone dropped dipstick twice in the tank causing the plane to be out of service and I missed my lessons due to it. Now I gifted these to school and they installed them. The stops click on pretty solid and strong and stayed on for couple of weeks so far. Hoping it will prevent people from dropping the dipsticks into the tanks going forward. Seems like a good product.

I was always worried about letting my fuel measuring tube slip into the fuel tank while checking the fuel level. Not any more, this fuel stop device works great.
