"Fluid seeks it's own level"
While I've never used a device like the one displayed builders have used water levels for thousands of years and the little snaky clear tube water level of today are simple and easy, work well over long(er) distances, and require no batteries (thinking laser levels).
Since your real reference point has to be the level of fuel in the bowl (to bad we don't have window in the bowl) this application is spot on.
All I hear in my head right now Thomas Dolby singing SCIENCE! from She Blinded Me with Science. Strangely in this version the bit starts off with a vintage Bimmer or Ural w sidecar. That was 1982 and I was in my prime...whatever that was.
