Gage, developed by North American Aviation, consists of radioisotope sources, detector with housing, summing unit in aircraft with several tanks, and instrument panel indicator; sources, placed around tank, are Cobalt 60 or Cesium 137; major components of system and their functions; fuel impurities, including moisture, have no effect on its operation, and payloads may be increased if desired as result of increased accuracy and reliability in fuel reading.
