A fuel quantity indicator system (FQIS) for an aircraft or other vehicle includes memory/data storage and a fuel quantity processing unit (FQPU). A neural network trained via machine learning and running on the FQPU receives fuel quantity (FQ) inputs from fuel tank sensors, e.g., tank density, fuel volume, water presence within the tank, at or near a given measurement time. The neural network additionally receives fuel flow (FF) inputs from flow sensors at the measurement time, indicating fuel flow to engines and auxiliary power units (APU) of the vehicle. Based on the FQ inputs and the FF inputs, the neural network calculates an estimated fuel quantity (EFQ) remaining, e.g., across all fuel tanks at or near a particular measurement time.
