G Series 2-3-4 - Fuel Flow
The Fuel Remaining display on the G2-3-4 is very useful but is not without limitations. Understand first that the factory fuel quantity gauges are the only instruments in the panel that physically measure fuel level. They are still the primary indication of fuel level in the airplane.

G3 Brochure
The G3 doesn’t measure
level, but instead
measures only fuel flow
rate. The G3 totalizes
the rate information to
account for fuel used.
If you know how much
fuel you started with
and how much you have
used you can figure fuel
remaining by simple
subtraction. The pilot
must supply an accurate
starting fuel level for
this subtraction to
produce the correct fuel
remaining result. Should
the pilot overstate the
fuel quantity on board,
the G3 will dangerously
overstate the fuel
remaining and the
endurance time as well.
The pilot must be
careful and diligent
when setting the fuel on
board. Getting the correct fuel total on board is in many cases pretty easy. If you fill up prior to takeoff the number is obviously the total available on board. If you partially fill a known configuration (say tips empty) then the total is easy to calculate. If you partially fill fuel tanks or add an accurately know quantity to a poorly known original value - errors will abound. Unaccounted fuel loss from leakage, fuel vent overflow or theft will of course produce erroneous results.
So be careful and the G3 will deliver safe, reliable, and convenient fuel information.
But be sure to cross reference the information on the primary fuel quantity gauges. Never trust a single source of fuel information when you have two on board. Fuel exhaustion still ranks highly among accident causes. There is no excuse for this - don’t let your engine stop until you’re parked.
