We've used ali tubing - but it requires 2 diameters to be welded together
(one for the sight tube, one for the breather) for the top end. held in
place by several straps of bid to the underside of the fuel bay, and then
immobilised with silicon rubber along the full length. Bottom is T'd to the
drain (std kit). Worth floxing a bolt to the inside of the fuel bay, poking
out backwards about 4" from the bottom for an adel clamp to hold the sight
tube.
