J-Air Fuelhawk Fuel Gauge
Okay... I give up. Searched the internet and cannot find a website for "J-Air" of Holland. There are, of course, loads of dealers selling their fuel gauges, but nowhere can I find the answer to the ultimate question...
This being a "Dutch" Company, does anyone know if these things are calibrated in US Gallons or IMP Gallons?
While I'm about it... their "universal" fuel gauge includes a calibration chart for types not supplied pre-calibrated. It involves re-fueling the aircraft in 5 gallon stages - which, (regrettably), exceeds the attention span of our bowser driver.
To save re-inventing the wheel, has anyone already calibrated a chart for a PA28-161 (48 USG usable)? A scan would be very much appreciated.
Regards

Er... I think you'll find that's Holland, USA 
And they are calibrated un USG.
You can calibrate the universal version in whichever unit you prefer. But it isn't much fun, the realities of it are that you should drain all fuel to the unusable level and then add it back in increments
If you didn't start with a full load then you'll have to go and fetch some more. Try finding a friendly pump person with plenty of time
