Steve & Dayna,
I just replaced my fuel tanks this past fall and had sight gauges installed.
I used valves on the top and bottom with a 90 elbow to hose barb. Used a
clear plastic tube for the sight portion. When the tube gets stained by the
fuel, close the top valve, remove the top of the tube from the hose barb,
blow the fuel out of the hose back into the tank through the bottom valve,
shut the bottom valve, replace the hose. ( 4' of hose =$ .60 )
Works good. Lasts a long time.

Both of my tanks have sight glasses, like commercial coffee pots - long
glass tubes that run down the walls of the engine room to show fuel level.
They're not calibrated, but they sure let me know when I need a fill up.
Anybody else have these?
