Been over 40 years since I have flown a Cessna 150, But I seem to rermember that you set the mags. to both. Didn't the fuel also set to both?? Maybe the 150 only had 1 tank??

I'm pretty sure I recall that the 150 tank selector has a "both" position...I *know* that the 152 does. But when parked on a sloping ramp it's common to set one tank only to prevent crossfeeding and fuel loss though the tank vent

The only actual requirement for certification is that they read "empty" when empty.
NO WAY !!!! There HAS to be SOME kind of standerd for accuarcy !! Not just "some, uhh maybe " then EMPTY !!!

An indicator calibrated in appropriate units and clearly marked
to indicate those units must be used But there HAS to be a stanrard SOME where !!! Are you telling me that all those Big Air liners are just winging around off of Jethro Bodeen "Naught +naught =Naught " ???

big airliners have capacitve FQ measurements, working with quantities of fuel up around 50,000 pounds and higher. They are more accurate mostly because it's more dangerous to have a big plane go empty and more inmportantly, passengers have survivors who sue.

Big airlines also cost considerably more than the 152 trainer in question. And have fuel flow sensors that feed the flight management system with minute by minute accurate fuel consumption data...which is why one transatlantic flight got in trouble after a last minute engine change. A fuel leak developed that dumped increasing amounts of (uncounted) fuel overboard...they ended up dead-sticking in.

[pathological need to belong]
my dad was a pilot in the navy and, once a civvie, he became a small engine pilot, was one for years; a founding member of the Dayton Airport and an official there. (ok, no one has heard of it) and I recall this: Flying with dad and him having to do an emergency landing (much to Control's disbelief) because I puked. Apparently I puked a LOT. [end pathological need to belong] So. flying isn't all it's cracked up to be.

It's puking that sucks. The best cure for airsickness is taking the controls...he should have let you fly it.
