Who are you laughing at? That's how I check the fuel level in my TR! And I always clean the stick first.

I prefer a yard stick it is graduated. I use one with my Spitfire, and my 52 IH.
 
I use a clean stick to check the gas in my tractor. John Deere not TR4.
 
I have one from 1928. it's facinating to read through. No I don't want to sell it. I'll try to post some pictures from it soon.
I'd love to read through one from that early. IT's gotta be interesting. Thanks for sharing.
 
I love the one about taking out the tube, if you have to run the tire flat.
 
Thanks Tom, that's a great link.
I agree Randall, that gave me a laugh.
