After the confusing amusing discussion, I realized I'll stick with what I did
for the last 9 years.
No marks at all.
When I drained the contents of the header tank, I noticed that the float almost
disappeared in the gas cap when there were 3 gallons left. That is good enough
for me. I know as long the bobber bobs, I still have thirty minutes, else I
should be in a traffic pattern.

that lasts? I've tried red nail polish, but even that seems to wear off (maybe
abrasion from the canvas canopy cover's little fitted "unicorn horn"
pocket...)Thanks -LindaN3437H ("Sky Sprite")415-CL.A.
