Does anyone know of a gas gauge gas cap that will drop into a predator 420 stock gas tank?

Splice a barb tee into the flexible fuel line from the tank (1/4" I.D. is common), running the fuel through the main line (straight-through) of the tee. Use the branch to run a short piece of clear vinyl tubing up vertically to somewhere well above the highest part of the tank, and put a small breather filter on the end of it. The line should of course be strapped on vertically with zipties or better.
The fuel level will always be visible in the clear tubing, and the open end with the filter on it will keep the ambient air pressure on the tube, instead of compressing it, which would lower the visible level. As a bonus, it makes an excellent breather for the tank to flow freely. Links to possible examples of parts follows..................
