Like a dummy, I calibrated my RV-14A fuel tank levels on the G3X but forgot to make up a tank dipstick as I went along. I now have both tanks completely full and don't have a convenient way to drain one and start over. I am hoping one of you other -14A drivers have a good stick that can show a pic with a ruler next to it so I can make one. Can someone help? Thanks.

What I did was every time I need to fill up, I mark my stick and see how many gallons it takes to top it off. After a few fill ups, you have a pretty good idea on how much is left in each tank. I use a paint stick from HD.
Dav11vad, that is an awesome dipstick. Exactly what I need. It looks like something sold by Vans. Did you make it or buy it?
I had it made by the same company that cut my panels. Front Panel Express.
I was just going to mark up a paint stick, but now I feel I need to step it up a little bit.
