By installing Curtis drain valves in your drain lines you can connect the
Curtis Quick drain hose to a drain valve and hold the clear plastic drain
hose against the side of the fuselage to 'see' the fuel level in the tank.
Paint 'calibtation' marks on the side of the fuselage.
I also have dual capacitance units and a flow meter.
