I've seen a few coupes with float gages mounted in the wing tank caps. These are protected by the glass sleeve, like the newer nose tank floats. Isn't that the cheapest, most reliable, and maintenance free solution? Jerry Eichenberger Columbus, Ohio N2906H

(Like a Cessna 150 gauge) I am sure that someone has done it. Darrel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Howdy all: > I have been wondering about my cockpit sight tube fuel gauge.
