This seemed to be the most appropriate area to post.
I am looking for a cylinder type aluminum/chrome/stainless tank to mount on the rear frame of the T. Searching for a tank online, I am very surprised to see many not coming with a sending unit for the fuel gauge or at least a port/spot one can bolt to. Why is this??
Am I going to have to make a "flight plan" and calculate for fuel every trip I make? Of course a visual inspection like on most riding lawnmowers seems to be the way to do this. I am not too concerned myself to do this as I wont be traveling far (more of just a town cruiser). In my case, do you think this is a problem not having a gauge outside of the tank?
My thoughts that with such a small tank, stopping at the gas station every ride is probably going to be expected anyways.
Maybe going to cap with a float gauge is a possibility, cutting in/ welding in a plate for the unit, or even a bare bones clear fuel line to catch the fuel "seeking at its own level" may be in the works.
Any thoughts on why this is? Ways around it? Experiences? Thank you!
