I think you'll find that the steps on the plastic "dagger" that dips into the fuel will show light/dark segments indicating the level of fuel inside the tank, something to do with how the stepped edges reflect/refract light, in the same way that when a glass is sitting on your kitchen bench its a lot more visible than when you put it in a sink full of water
