On the work boats we use a weighted metal measuring tape. On your small boats with the associated size tanks you could use a measuring tape of 6' or 10' length. Make a tank volume table for your fuel tanks and just by measuring you will know how much you have and can tell the pump man at the fuel dock how much you need and when to slow down the flow so you don't spurt out the fuel vent.
