Update 4/13/07: The answer is:

Years ago fuel delivery trucks didn't have any type of a pump to transfer the fuel from the truck to the farmer's storage tank. The fuel was moved in 5 gallon containers by hand. This indicator was mounted on the truck and each time a 5 gallon can was filled they advanced it one space to keep track of the gallons delivered.

This must be easy for you guys, winner is SarahS #6.
