Then the majority of the worlds military pilots and airline pilots are negligent then if by "ensuring" you mean a visual check.....
Not many pilots (none I've ever met) of big toys ever personally check a tank.
Didn't know that about toy Cessnas though.
I find it slightly strange that the response to unreliable fuel gauges is to check visually rather than force Cessna to fit gauges that work.
