Thanks. I guess for now I'll just have to keep aware about it and always check it. At least until I can start counting miles instead. I wonder if there is some kind of Oxygen sensor that I could just stick onto the side of the tank? Maybe if it exists, stick it into the tank and then drill a hole at the top for the wire, then just seal it with some gasoline proof sealant. Maybe that could work... Well only if such a think actually exists.

I have seen lawn mowers that had similar gauges but a screw on cap , not twist lock like our gas caps. It sold for what I thought was big bucks on Ebay. The disadvantage was you needed to raise the seat to see it ,so why not remove the cap & look in for O $ spent. In the past there was a discussion on how to remember when to fill up. I suggested the person put a grease pen or dry erase marker by the gas cap & mark the glass on the speedometer with the current mileage when filling the tank. Not as handy as a trip meter or gage but very simple like our c70`s. Good Luck ! Baby Huey PS a zip lock bag taped by the gas cap was the cheap & ugly way to keep a marker by the gas cap to remind you to use it.
