Does anyone use one of these (instead of conventional dipsticks) and if so do you have calibration cards for cessna 152 normal (93 litre) and long range (142 litre) tanks?

These things are really accurate and easy to use - I have used them on several types.
You need to self-calibrate them though with an individual a/c for them to be dependable. This will involve a patient re-fueler willing to put fuel into the tank in 1 or 2 litre increments from empty whilst you calibrate..... There may be a variation between left and right tanks so you need to do both.
Once done though this gives great peace of mind!
