I installed one several years ago ii a gas boat. It worked flawlessly for the
2 years I kept the boat. Everyone within a couple hundred feet knew when the
tank was close to topped off. You won't have any trouble hearing it I can
assure you of that.
That said, my last two diesel boats had the vents just
below the fill and it is also very easy to listen to the tone and know when
it's full.
Hope this helps.

I have seen several product write ups on a
device that presumably goes
in the fuel fill vent line and during a fill-up
will whistle until the
tank is full.  When the whistle stops it is time to
stop filling fuel.
I'll be using it, if purchased, for diesel fuel fill
lines.

Has anyone installed one of these and if so, I would appreciate any
comments (good or bad) as to its effectiveness.  Also if any problems
were
encountered.  Is the whistle easily heard or does one need to pay
particular
attention to the whistling (over and above normal fuel
filling diligence)?
Thanks in advance,

John Blair
