Wood Gas Tank Fuel Level Ruler
Years ago wooden Model T gas tank fuel level rulers were readily available. I don't see them anymore and would like to know if anyone is reproducing them .

Find a copy of The Model T Ford Owner, by M Fahnestock.Or The Edited Service Bulletins.
There are suggestions on making your own gauge depending on the shape of the tank.
You may be able to produce one with a 1x12 inch pine paint mixing stick?

The stick will be easier to read if you give it a coat of urethane and scuff the surface with steel wool.

Or sign up for a well organized Model T tour. They’re free in your ‘goody bag’.

Re: Wood Gas Tank Fuel Level Ruler
To add to what George posted above, On our MTFCA National Tour in June, 2022, every goody bag got at least 1gs stick, and some got two of them since we had a few extras. Also, there were gas stations close by in both directions from the host motel. No excuses for running out of gas!
