Guys,=0AIf you are wanting a tank fill dipstick, why not create a convolute
d guide from a small diameter tube for a flexible dipstick to go down (as f
ound on many oil dipstick set ups), the guide tube would need permanently i
nstalled inside the tank filling cobra and into the tank, a suitably sized
flexible dipstick could be calibrated/marked as a one off exercise.=0A-
=0ALocating the guide tube would be interesting , but some sort of spider t
op and bottom of the cobra could be one solution (Glassed into place ), sho
uld only add a few ounces and keep the end of the tube off the tank bottom
so it does not chaff through.=0A-=0ARegards=0A-=0AKevin=0A=0A=0A_______

=0A=0AMartin=0A=0AThat sounds interesting - do you have a Mod for your sigh

LAA is always a bit hit and miss....=0A=0ARichard C-C=0A=0A=0AOn 31 October

a mod exists to fit a sender with a screw top fitting to allow dipping of

the same problem is to fit a sight gauge (tube) Fitted beside and low down
the filler neck. The plastic sight tube being as short as possible the res
t being aliminum tube. This should make replacing the tube easy the rest is
fit and forget. When you come to fill up with fuel you will know how much
you have and how much to put in. A problem with Europa's not to be underest
imated. It will not be of much use if you are very low on fuel but as I hav
e a fuel flow indicator and virtual tank this can be calculated with ease w
ith a margin of extra fuel for safety.=0A>Good luck=0A>Martin.=0A>=0A>=0A>
