I bought a partially completed KR2 with outboard wing tanks that have no
quantity indicator system or venting. Does anyone have an effective
quantity indicating system for such a KR2 rig?

You can use a float-wire guage through the filler cap. It's been used for
years on a number of planes but the Volksplane comes to mind right now. All
you have to do is modify the filler cap with the float guage.

You may have to slow down to Cub/Volksplane speed to read it!

Larry,
Have you thought of using a sight tube like the one for the header tank?
I use to fly an American Yankee and it had wing tanks and it used sight tubes
as fuel gauges. I'm planning on having wing tanks w/o a header tank and
that's the method I plan to use. I'm also open to other suggestions
Both the Yankee and Cheeta have the sight gages, but I haven't been able to
see how they are set up.

There were several simple, light, and effective ideas mentioned for gauging
fuel quantity in the wing tanks, but not the equally simple and light one
that Mike Mims offered. It's at
