Fuel gauge

I'd like to add some sort of fuel gauge to my Raptor SD but can't really find any options. Would a gas cap gauge work? If so, has anyone found one that would fit? I'm open to other suggestions as well. Thanks!

well there is a sight on the sight of the machine, or are you not happy with that?

Not overly happy with it since it only displays a portion of the tank. That can show empty but you've still got an hours worth a fuel.

It's really not a necessity considering a could just flip the seat up and have a look. Just something I'd like to have :)

Heh... let's find out how much "like to have" motivates??

I remember something similar to those in the link below from
a project I did a while back. I had to have the level (remotely displayed)
of a flammable liquid in a sealed tank.

Tank Level Senders, Fuel Gauges, Marine Gauges, Fuel sending units, Fuel Senders by WEMA USA, Inc.

Trust that helps some.

Hacking into a plastic gas tank makes me nervous, but I'm sure it can be done. I would want to drop in a top- seated auto float/resistor arm type . They are relatively flush with two terminal hookups, I think. But the arm length and gauge for a 20 gal auto tank might require mod. And it probably wouldn't be so cheap, even used. I think I would go on line, maybe motorcycle aftermarket? Maybe there is an existing "cadillac" style rider which already has one.
