From what I have seen of signal van ( aust ) fuel tanks they all appear to have provision for dip sticks .
I have not been able to find out why these models have it where as others do not .
On the one's I have were fitted with a PTO off the transmisson which may have driven a generator while parked up , there must have been a reason to measure the fuel in the tanks manually rather than use the gauge.
Perhaps the floats did not follow the fuel level down if the engine was using fuel but the vehicle not moving and no road viabration .
