Why not 'bin' the sight tube altogether and fit an alternative gauging
system. I have twin capacitance probes and they work brilliantly.

Geez, with all the tubing that's changing to all different colors of the
rainbow from the 'who knows how it will effect it' gas, I am beginning to
think of using glass tubing for the sight gauge. Maybe fully encasing it in
plastic tubing that would take over in case it ever broke from vibration.
Glass should guarantee no color shift, if it is reliable enough in this
environment.
