When I look at the gauge in both place there is nothing inside incidicating how much Fuel I have remaining. Should there be something floating in this gauge?
Thanks

Are you looking at it when it's half full? The gauge is hard to see when its full or empty.

I ask the engineer. Frequently! -- On the IXB, I go out at 8 kts across the Atlantic. If destination is off Halifax, I have 75% fuel left. Going to Caribbean, I have about 60% fuel left at Anegada Passage. In both cases, enough to have some fast speed runs and being able to return to Lorient at 10-12 knots.:smug:

the actual fuel level should be indicated by a small brown square :yep:
