I think the sight gauge should be retained for on ground fuel checking
In lieu of a dipstick but a capacitance gauge is a better in flight solution.
The
question now is, how to get an accurate on ground visual check considering
that the current location of the fuel sight gauge doesn't give an accurate
measure
when on the ground. Maybe a direct reading float gauge mounted to the tank
inspection hatch (see Meredith-Hardy) is a solution.

Really, you actually like lifting the tail every time you want to know how
