  • Patent number: 5760712
    Abstract: A fuel time indicator which is removably mountable about a fuel tank selector switch for monitoring and displaying tank usage times for each of a plurality of fuel tanks is disclosed. The fuel time indicator comprises a portable frame including a switch position sensor for monitoring a plurality of positions of the fuel selector switch and generating a corresponding switch position signal. A timer generates a timing signal indicative of elapsed time. A controller responsive to the position signal and the timing signal generates tank usage times for each of the fuel tanks by selectively aggregating elapsed times. Visual indications of the tank usage times are provided by a display.
