Reinhold,
Sorry for being so late in responding to your question. The green tank I have is said to be translucent, but it is only partially so (there may be another green that isn't translucent at all, I'm not sure). The fuel level on mine really can't be seen looking at the tank from the outside. However, the fuel level can be visualized by looking into the tank through the filler hole, and by placing a finger against the tank on the outside and matching that to the fuel level (the finger can be seen from the inside), where the fuel level falls on the outside of the tank can be accurately determined. As mentioned in my earlier posts, I had placed marks (with a permanent marking pen) on the tank at half gallon intervals, so by using this method I could determine how much fuel was left in the tank fairly precisely.
Although not as convenient as a fully translucent tank, this isn't as complicated or difficult as it sounds.
Hope this helps.
