Cessna 150 fuel dipstick

[badtransam97]

Just started renting a 150 again, and I'm needing a dipstick to check the fuel tanks. Sportys has one for the 152, and I'm just wondering if the tanks are the same on both planes. Their stick is for 13 gal tanks and that is what this 150 has. If any of you guys know, i'd appreciate the info

GO to the school, find a person who has bought one of the fancy ones for $20. Take a dowel or painting stick, use theres to make your own for free.

Here is a universal dip stick. The down side is that you have to calibrate it.

I am pretty sure our flight school has fuel hawk that says C-150/C-152 on it, but I wouldn't take that to the bank.

I think it is odd that the place that you are renting from does not already have one.

Well I'm not actually renting from a school, it's an individual, and he just bought the plane. We may wind up having to do the universal deal, just hoping the 152 one would work so we didn't have to calibrate one.

I'm 99% sure that they are the same.

Our schools 150 has a pre marked off the shelf pre made fuel stick, so I know that there is at least one out there.

I was told that the dipstick for the 150 and the 152 have different part numbers but are exactly the same.

The 150-152 club has one for various 150's. Just don't drop it into the tank, they are a bear to get out Buy the safety cable as well, it solves the drop in the tank problem
