Thanks for the replies . I didn't think it would be such a vexed question . Certainly a lot of good and practical solutions though .
I suppose I just need to be more vigilant and top up more often . The tank really is not conducive to dipping or peering into . It really is a pita , a wide fill cap , not so bad , but then a baffle and tight bend less than an inch below the neck . It's not easy to fill and overflows in an instant .
If the fuelnadditives don't work I might try to find a fuel resistant foam of a dark colour . If I can cut a piece and get it into the tank I may be able to see it floating at the surface, might be easier than crawling around on my hands and knees peering closely while shaking the machine.
