I saw this suggestion in the 25 Years of RVator and here's how I interpreted the idea. One of Van's guys offered the idea of having some kind of visual indicator of fuel level, so when you look in the cap, you'd know about how much each wing has.
I guessed at 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4. Not too fine, but, distinguishable when looking in a dark tank. I installed AN470-7 rivets thru the next to last outboard tank rib, gently squeezing them for an interference fit in the holes and then sealed the heads in with Proseal to keep them in place.
Anyway, I hope to be able to looking the cap and easily see my fuel level in 1/4 tank increments.
