Thanks for your thoughts, Roger. I too have heard that pvc tubing will not
last long. Is there any clear tubing that will last over 5 years anyway?
However, the rigid pvc piping is supposed to last quite well. I say this
with not much experience however, and it is subject to change. Let me know
if you have direct experience with the piping. Is there anyone else holding
their breath, who could add to the discussion on pvc piping?

I think to original routing has its place -esp on the ground, but it does
not seem as practical to me as a sight gauge right next to the tank, which
won't suffer from attitude adjustments (I would need one of those, I expect,
after finding out the readings are not reliable in the air).
Thanks for your input. The goal is to make this thing as reliable as
possible, so any and all input is accepted and expected. Please re-add your
input on rigid pvc pipes, if you can.
Regards,
Greg
