Yeah that was my thought as well. The funnel I use now reaches all the way into the tank, and I use it like a dipstick. But once you overfill it, there's nothing you can do. With a float gauge you could slowly inch it up to the mark. Some kind of a float switch could work, but I'd be a little leery of using anything with an electric circuit inside a gas tank
