I bought a real nice old Mercury outboard gas tank off Craigslist. The inside of the tank looks new with no rust or junk in it. The outside looks good also. The only problem with it is the sight glass for the fuel gauge is a brownish color instead of clear. Basicly you can not see through it. I took it out and washed it with dish washing shop, it helped a little but stii not usable.
I check at the local Mercury store and they told me that all the parts for the fuel gauge on those old tank have been discontinued.
I think the cork is okay but I was going to replace it just in case, not available.
Is there some way to make the sight glass clear again or do you know where I can get a new one? I say glass but the the sight glass is really plastic.
