Hello all,

I'm building a mid wing airplane and looking for a clean fuel sight
gauge. I've tried a clear vertical fuel vent line inside the cockpit
for each tank without the desired results. I'm covering the top of the
tanks with Poly Fiber instead of Plexiglas so I can't do the light
access panel over the tank and cut out slot in fuselage to view the
side of the fuel tank. There must be proven ways to monitor tank fuel
levels. I'd love to hear. It's almost run up time.



The fiberglass folks use Vance Atkinson's sight gauges. The velocity
experimentals per plans use 90 degree barbed fittings at the top and
bottom of the tank and put clear plastic tubing between the barbs..

what is happening that is undesired with what you are doing now? What
kind of mid wing airplane are you building?
