It's easy to calibrate. I have the FuelHawk shown in the link; the calibration for my 337G with extended range tanks is shown below :

3 46.1
4 49.4

Thank you, Ernie! Proof that there is no such thing as an old topic. I just bought a G, and this was to be the first order of business!
Of course, I will verify the numbers for my airplane but hoped to establish a minimum fuel load for takeoff referenced to the "zero" point that you have measured. That is the only thing about the extended tanks, lack of a visual check, but I'm happy to have the airplane. Too bad that Cessna never engineered a drip stick on the inboard tank. I've used them plenty of times on the airliners I've flown. Probably enough pilot vs. fuel problems to begin with. Why fly if you can't see it?
