If ruler was wet up to 4”, you have 1/2 tank, if ruler is wet to 2”, you have 1/4 tank, etc.

You never know what you can learn on talk of the villages. I think the really old volks wagons had a dipstick for the fuel tank. For a boat, an outboard with an integral tank you would, or should know, it will run about that long on a full tank. The standard six gallon cans, plastic or the older metal ones, either came with a float type cap that would give you a reading or you could buy one.
