I have put one of these on the drain plug of my rear water tank. (Kiss) Just turn on the tap to get an accurate water level. And because it's just push on I can simply twist it to drain the tank if needed. More accurate than the 12v gauge in the kitchen. Now adding this one to the front tank which I suspect is not...
