Opps, Guess I should have read all the emails before responding to the last

I have seen many planes with a red (plastic?) ball in the site tube. I am
starting to work on my site tube and want to hear more about what I need also.
Please chime in. I am at work today but the site is iced in and I don't think
workers will show s. I have my Aircraft Spruce book and c
Tygon comes in Clear. Paint a White strip behind your tube, and Red
diagonal stripes
over it behind the tube. The fuel will reverse the stripes and the
quantity easily

I have found that the lines behind or dark and light background at an angle
didn't seem to help. As a confirmed whino, I like the cork/pea idea. The clear
tygon is the best yet. I will remake the gauge with clear and a dark cork. The
fuel is filtered downstream of this.

I've seen floating "peas" or mini ball specially built for this.
The Grumman AA-1, AA-1A, and AA-1B had an Airworthiness Directive (AD
78-13-04) requiring the installation of floats on the fuel site gauges.

Wouldn't placing a small piece of cork in your site gage tube increase the
visibility of the fuel level. The cork would always float on top of the
fuel level in the sight gauge. You may need a screen to keep the cork from
going into the fuel tank when the tank is emptied.

Mc Master Car has clear tygon and they also sell an adhesive backed ruler that
would work great behind the tube along with the float and you should be set.

Paul,
I'll assume that you already have some type of graduated scale behind
the tube. Without actually seeing your set up, a suggestion might be
to put a 'float' inside the tube.
My two cents worth

I have been using a short length of Tygon placed vertically on the instrument
panel for my fuel gauge. The Tygon is yellow (comes that way) and it makes it
difficult to see the height of the gas. Any ideas for a clear substitute? I
tested some vynal but it "hardens" if left in avgas.
