We have a Hunter 34 with no fuel gauge. (The PO had installed a Snake River system but it has never worked). For years we have been reliably estimating fuel levels based on the engine meter and a baseline of 1.8L / hour burn. Recently we had our engine rebuilt and then last week we had an incident where the engine quit while we were underway. By our standard calculations we should have been fine for fuel but there's a chance that after the rebuild our numbers are different. OR, it could just be the infamous clogged fuel line.
Anyway... all that to say that I'd like to eliminate the possibility that we ran out of fuel before we start looking at other problems. Issue is, we have no way to manually validate how much fuel is in the tank. Attempts at inserting a makeshift dipstick have not gone well. Any suggestions on how to check the fuel level?
Thanks in advance...
