Dipstick for diesel fuel tank
My fuel gauge seems sort of flaky lately. Is their a good way to come up with something like a dipstick to measure the true fuel level? The fill port is on the side, and goes a couple of feet so...

Are you saying it's flaky because it does not agree with the dash MPG and gallons used or for some other reason?
The fuel gauge goes all over the place, high and low. I plan to get it fixed when we get home next year.
In the mean time, I don't want to end up out of fuel with the gauge saying half full.
My current plan is to stop and fill up every few hundred miles. I've gone over 900 miles between refueling in the past, but it just bugs me to look down and see the gauge down by empty when I think it can't be.
I would go with 5 too 600 miles going by the info you gave. JMHO
