I use a 12” aluminum ruler and lower it into the tank until it touches bottom (top of ruler is still above the tank). The tank measures 8” tall so see where ruler is wet after pulling out of the tank and then wipe it dry with napkin or paper towel. If ruler was wet up to 4”, you have 1/2 tank, if ruler is wet to 2”, you have 1/4 tank, etc.

Answer to your question is YES, anyone who sells/works on golf carts or a friend who is a DY'r can go to to YOUTUBE and see how simple it is. I've got one in my garage waiting for cooler days to install it myself. A side note: As is typical of TOTV, you ask a simple question and people want to tell you "What to do" not "How to do what you want"...just sayin

You never know what you can learn on talk of the villages. I think the really old volks wagons had a dipstick for the fuel tank. For a boat, an outboard with an integral tank you would, or should know, it will run about that long on a full tank. The standard six gallon cans, plastic or the older metal ones, either came with a float type cap that would give you a reading or you could buy one.

That's the first time I've seen a woman complain about lifting a seat...

I have a 2012 Yamaha, that I had a in-dash gas gauge installed about 3 years ago.
Works just fine. The cap gauge is still there, seems to coordinate with the dash gauge.
Was installed by T.V. cart service in Brownwood. Got to use a free loaner for that.
At that time I had a coupon that got it installed at no charge, but those coupons are no longer around. Not sure about the set up on newer carts. I think now their cost is around
$100. +/-, just call them for their price.

I bought a vertical fuel level sensor and gauge. I did NOT want to cut into the tank, so I found an extra gas cap (Yamaha), and was able to slightly modify the vertical fuel sender to fit INSIDE the gas cap. The good news, it reads empty correctly, the bad news it does not read full very well, but since empty is the important this works really well.
Send PM with phone number if you want the gory details.

Yes, The Villages did it for me years ago.

You were told wrong. The gas cap type is cork that floats and the fuel injection is electronic gauge just like in you’re vehicle. If cork not actuate then it’s old or sticking and needs replaced.
