Narrative:
In summary: an small aircraft pilot few from addison, tx, to little rock, ar, in instrument conditions. The reporting CFI was in the right seat giving instruction to a pilot in the left seat whose qualifications were not listed. The WX was lower than forecast at destination. Both tank fuel gauges were not reading properly, but the tanks were full on takeoff. There was plenty of fuel for this flight. The student pilot flew the first ILS to runway 4L and had to make a missed approach. The instructor pilot made the second approach to runway 4L. He landed on runway 36, landing long on a short runway. He ran off of the end into a fence. There were no injuries, but some damage. The reporting instructor's thinking was colored by the fact that he had to get to a restroom. The reporter is very contrite and long winded. There was another aircraft in the pattern that distracted the reporting pilot.
