The list below is for standard category certified aircraft. It applies only to civil aircraft with a standard category airworthiness certificate. Experimental/homebuilt aircraft are not standard category aircraft. Unless you are going into Mode C territority or plan IFR flights or do acrobatics, *no* instruments of any type are required. *None* You can leave your instrument panel bare aluminum and legally fly that plane in Day VFR conditions. (And probably crash shortly after takeoff.)
John Hudson Tiner
From CFR 14 FAR 91.205
(b) /Visual-flight rules (day)./ For VFR flight during the day, the
following instruments and equipment are required:
(1) Airspeed indicator.
(2) Altimeter.
(3) Magnetic direction indicator.
(4) Tachometer for each engine.
(5) Oil pressure gauge for each engine using pressure system.
(6) Temperature gauge for each liquid-cooled engine.
(7) Oil temperature gauge for each air-cooled engine.
( Manifold pressure gauge for each altitude engine.
(9) Fuel gauge indicating the quantity of fuel in each tank.
(10) Landing gear position indicator, if the aircraft has a retractable
landing gear.

I think it does have to have a fuel gauge.

That's what that little wire poking out of the gas cap is for.
