Does anyone know where I can find a red float ball I can install in the sight gauge fuel line?

 Thanks for all whom replied. I’ll route the fuel lines inside the tunnel from the fuel valve between the seats. I’ll assemble the rudder and connect the cables to check for rubbing before closing the fuse.

 

 Best

Hi Martin. I bought two orange ones from either steinair or wicks if I remember rightly.

Hi Martin,

     

     Might I suggest another solution. The standard sight gauges for the     water level in boilers use a background with angled black and white     stripes. Due to refraction, where there is liquid the stripes are     reversed which makes it very easy to see the level.

     

     I poked around on Google Images and found one example on a steam     locomotive. Simple, effective, cheap and it will work with gasoline.     See below.

Hi John, Martin.

This idea can be found on page 3-4 of the build manual.

No need to reinvent it
