Same deal here. I have the following plugins in common with Cdiehm:
Backpacks, Death Notes, Image Library, Inbound, No Give Notices, Rust Kits, Quick Sort, Sign Artist.
It's sufficent to prevent my players crashing-out by revoking fuelgauge.allow rather than having to remove the Fuel Gauge plugin.
I note that Sign Artist and Fuel Gauge both have a dependency on Image Library, but I'm not in a position at the moment to try removing this plug-in to test if that's where the problem is located.
Hope this helps narrow-down the issue.
