Fuel level had been displayed on the cylinder head temperature gauge, now the cylinder head temperature gauge shows cylinder head temperature. It's one of the many bugfixes around missing or inaccurate temperature displays.
Since the fuel level gauge was omitted when modelling the F6F cockpit for whichever reason, yet is an important quantity, it was moved to the fuel pressure part of the combo instrument that historically did not exist on the F6F. It's scaled from 25 to 0, 25 being 250 US gallons, 100% fuel.
The instruments on the right hand panel as shown in Hellcat at War are fuel pressure gauge (top left), fuel contents gauge (middle left), oil temperature gauge (bottom left), oil pressure gauge (top right), cylinder head temperature gauge (bottom right).
The majority of F6F's had the installation as shown in the pilot manual, same gauges, different locations.
In game we have cylinder head temperature, oil temperature and oil pressure gauges as historically present, plus two fantasy "oxygen pressure" and "oil/fuel combo" gauges, which were of no use.
