I can get you a picture in a couple of days.

There should be a 1/2″ grommet in the oil box to drain it. Sounds like a gauge if switching tanks doesnt get a reading. You can wire them to the monitor we think. We think?

It can be added and it is a 1/2″ hole with a plastic grommet. Sorry that it was overlooked. the fuel sending unit can be programmed when filling, of you can have the senders replaced under warranty. BCB
