Interesting concept but i don't like the idea of a fragile gauge glass on a pressurised gas tank, i think it is quite dangerous should it break or fail in any way.  :o

Bonjour,
This is just a proposal to show that we can find yet custom accessories other than boilers and I would never impose my experience, I just share it.
The horizontal one is already in one of my tugs, the glass pipe is partially protected with a cut silicon pipe and nothing is supposed to come and hurt it where I installed it.
