An aircraft fuel tank system comprising an aircraft fuel tank and a time domain reflectometry (TDR) fuel gauge for measuring a filling level of fuel in the aircraft fuel tank. The TDR fuel gauge comprises an electromagnetic signal generator and a cable, the cable comprising a first cable part and a second cable part which are coupled in series to the signal generator. The first cable part extends downwardly within the fuel tank and the second cable part extends upwardly within the fuel tank. The first and second cable parts are arranged such that for at least one filling level the first cable part extends down into the fuel from an ullage space at a first location and the second cable part extends up out of the fuel into an ullage space at a second location which is spaced apart from the first location.
