A method of fuel gauging includes the use of limited physical probes and a number of virtual probes that are mathematically represented despite having no physical representation. Each probe determines the volume of fuel in a particular section of the fuel tank. The calculation method includes using the attitude of the fuel tank to calculate the rotation of each physical probe, using this information to determine the height of the fuel at each physical probe, and extrapolating the physical height information to determine the position of each virtual probe. Once the information on each physical and virtual probe is obtained, a total fuel volume can be calculated.
