    Fuel level site glass options on a fuel cell!

    I will be mounting it where I won't really be able to check the level, I've seen some catch can's come with fittings and a clear tube so you can see if its full? So is there anything like that available that can take fuel?

    Well there's fuel hose that's available for weedwackers and RC cars that's clear, just use that.

    Yeah, I was thinking that too, but was also thinking, "Is this a sanctioned fuel cell with the liner and baffles in, or is this just some small tank he wants for his race gas???" ... coz with choice #1, drilling to tap it for the lines it is gonna trash it, and if it's compulsory in that class then the sight glass isn't gonna pass tech... but I was thinking that if it was just an extra ancillary tank he might get away with a short bit of fuel rated hose on it...

    Who said anything about tech? They wont' even know its there.

    As for the tank, its a real fuel cell with foam inside.
