Hi Martin,

Might I suggest another solution. The standard sight gauges for the 
water level in boilers use a background with angled black and white 
stripes. Due to refraction, where there is liquid the stripes are 
reversed which makes it very easy to see the level.

I poked around on Google Images and found one example on a steam 
locomotive. Simple, effective, cheap and it will work with gasoline. See 
below.


Cheers, John

Does anyone know where I can find a red float ball I can install in the sight 
gauge
fuel line?
