Thanks for your replies. Need to do some conversion training later this year on a Seneca.

But in the meantime I just want to know if anyone uses a fuel dipstick for a Seneca? We have recently acquired a Seneca II. It does not have a dipstick and the owner tells me that he never had one. I realise that it would only have limited use anyway, as the II has only one large tank in each wing and due to the dihedral the tanks slope down towards the wing roots. So a dipstick would show nothing unless the tanks are quite full. Nevertheless I think it would be useful to be able to have some ability to measure the fuel by dipping when the tanks are near-full.

So in short I'm trying to find someone with a Seneca II (or other Seneca if it has the same tanks) with a dipstick that I could get measurements for.

Of course I could run the tanks dry, add fuel in portions and then calibrate my own dipstick, but I thought I would first make some inquries.

Cheers.
