That would work just fine, Walt, if your tank is rectangular, but all 
the ones on my tractors have all kinds of irregular shapes to fit under 
the various hoods, and using your method would produce quite unreliable 
results.

Besides, I wrote that for the engineers in the group who actually enjoy 
"rocket science" solutions. :-) I just use a stick: on the Ford 860, the 
stick sits right on the tank and never moves; on the Cubs they sit right 
between the transmission housing and the battery box, etc.
