In the in-wing 'wet wing' tanks... And proceeded to completely finish the wings without them...

The tanks use the leading edge of the wing to hold 20gal of fuel per wing....

NO SENDERS for a gauge... NO ACCESS to the tank except on the end.. And it's fiberglass, so drilling/cutting to mount a sensor with no access to the inside of the tank = no go...

Low wing plane...

Can I use some sort of pressure-based fuel level sensor hooked up to the line just outside the tank?

Will a 'Sight-glass' style fuel gauge (antique fuel-in-a-marked-tube' variety) work?

Any ideas that don't involve tearing into the tank/wings or trying to drill/cut into the fiberglass & re-seal it?
