I had the same question. Is I understand it the FAA has a requirement to be
able to measure the fuel quantity visually . (pre flight walk around)
Anyway, I made a sight gauge just behind the passenger seat in the baggage
bay. That way I can keep an eye on it while I am fueling. I think there
pictures of how I built mine on the web pictures of WEC. (Wile E. Coyote
N229WC { not water closer}) Have a look; page 3 and bottom of page 7 .
