Fuel Tank Monitor

Post by BALANCE »

My deck fill elbows to tank, bummer. Any experiences with the non electric monitors?

Well, I guess that answers my question!

I couldn't add anything because we used a calibrated stick of wood (I guess it was non-electric, but you can't use it with an elbow).

I'm glad you brought it up though, because I was about to reinstall my fuel tank with some of that "bendy" fuel hose (think Michelin tire man). I hadn't been thinking about how I wouldn't be able to put a stick down into the tank.

On the other hand, it's one of those "white" plastic Moeller tanks - I wonder if I'll be able to just see the fuel level through the walls of the tank...

(don't answer that; I'll start a new thread)
