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."
