I just installed my first ever remote glow fueler valve. But how are we suppose to find out that the tank is full or not?

When fuel exits the pressure line. If the pressure line is in-cowl, install a tee at the nipple and extend a piece of fuel line to make it accessible and cap it off. Or...you can wait till the muffler fills with enuf fuel to overflow .

Yea, Vinnie has it, but if you wait till the muffler is full, it is going to be awfully hard to start.

You can use a third line from the tank & that would be the over flow , when finished filling tank cap or plug it. MAX H.

If you run a second line from your vent line to your fuel bottle, you won't spill any of the expensive fuel on the ground and you will prevent humid, performance robbing air from entering your fuel supply.
