They're s**t mate, a friend had one packed up in a couple of months. Best use a dip stick like the one I made with one litre intervals marked along its length and kept under the seat.

He's right. I've got one all it does is take up space where fuel could go and make my lambretta a bit heavier.

Every now and again it gives the right reading.

I have a single seat so use the traditional folding rulers, take off the excess sections then it's not a PITA if you drop it
