hears is a idea for you... When I had a vending machine rout I had coffee
machines and in them they had a over foal bucket and in the bucket there was a
switch that turned off the machine if it got full.. Well what I'm getting to is
the switch was a styrene foam ball on a little chain and when the bucket got
full the ball would float up and there was a little switch on the other end of
the chain and when there was no tension on the chain the switch would turn
off.. So what I'm thinking is if you can get into the top of the tank you mite
make some thing like this but with a little buzzer on it to tell you when the
tank is low it would have to work in reverse of what the over full bucket
switch was but it should work.... Also this way there would be no electronics
in the tank it self...

Years ago Jeff when we had an outside 275 gallon Oil tank , I had a
real nice local oil man and he brought me a stick which he had marked
with a saw so I would know when I was down to a half or quarter tank of
fuel.. I'd take a measurement and then set the end of that stick in a 3
pound coffee can as it dripped off, then I just set inside the garage
door until the next time. It worked fine. I also like your idea of
using the old vaccum hose . Stay warm. Lee

My boy is a mean kid. I came home the other day and saw him taping worms
to the sidewalk, he sits there and watches the birds get hernias. Well,
only last Christmas I gave him a B-B gun and he gave me a sweatshirt with
a bulls-eye on the back.
I told my kids, "Someday, you'll have kids of your own." One of them
said, "So will you."
