I think a backlit dot matrix LCD would be the best solution. Loads of
places like RS Components, Farnell, Maplin etc. do them in various
types. You would need to program a PIC or microcontroller, but with that
you could filter out the movement of fuel. Calibration would be much
easier too. Manufacturers make so many dot matrix LCDs that they are
probably cheaper than bargraphs anyway.
