    Weighing water.

    Hi! All markings on FVs are approximate, so you've probably got a more accurate scale than FVs with pre-printed scales. Have you considered an ullage stick? It shows the liquid volume by measuring the empty space above the liquid. Post #12 here.

    Sight Glass Volume Markings

    Pub gas bottle fittings
