Precise Fuel Mass Measurement in GA

Dear fellow pilots,
How do you practically solve the problem of precise measurement of fuel quantity in your tanks, in order to calculate the fuel mass that you have in them, needed for mass and balance calculations?
My particular Seneca IV has fuel gages, but how much can I rely on their correctness in estimating the mass of fuel in the tanks?
How can you know how many LBS of fuel you currently have in your Seneca, or for that matter, any GA piston airplane?

Thanks in advance,
M.
