As to the aircraft it was fitted to…. Valiant
Well it’s a big thing, whatever it is!
13,000lb of fuel (about six tons) is quite a lot and surely not in a single tank.
Why the two scales 0-5 and 0-13? Is there a switch that gives a ‘full-scale’ reading for the last 5000lb for more accuracy?
Having said that if you’re worried about how fast you are using your last 5000lb of fuel it must be from a jet. 😀
Well, I wasn’t too far out! 😀
Any idea about the two scales and size of tank(s)?

Fuel contents gauge
You have a “Gauges, fuel contents, electrical, Simmonds ‘Pacitor’ type”. This is a fluorescent instrument calibrated in mass units (lbs in other words) with part number GP/280/061.
