RE: [Honda-C70] Re: Fuel gauge anyone?

I have toyed with the idea of a sight glass but planed on running it up the inside of the leg shield ending at the top of the leg shield above the top of the tank. What stoped me is a safe way to vent cap the end of the hose with a check valve to keep fuel spray or liquid from leaking in a tip over or accident. Mine would be a check on the fly guage. Mike`s up the out side of the tank might be a " check under your fly guage" if seated . I would want a very good check valve there too. Baby Huey`s 2 cents

Making a "sight glass" shouldn't be all that difficult.

Add a "T" fitting to the main tank hose coming off the bottom of the
tank, put on a clear rubber hose with a vented cap, and string the
hose out through the normal hose port in the front of the frame and
up the outside of the tank bulge on the frame. Mount it however you
like.

You'll have to mark the low (main to reserve transition) point on the hose.

That should get you close enough.
