Service & Maintenance Question
No matter how i Position the tractor, the fuel level can not be seen because of the thickness/texture of the plastic.
Shouldn't this area be clear so one can seen where the fuel level is?

Hi Shotze, thanks for using Answer Army. Yes its hard to see the fuel level in the tank. I recommend try using fuel stabilizer in your fuel. This will give a tint to the fuel. Pre mix in your container as the directions state. Using stabilizer will do other things other than tint the fuel. It will help keep carb clean, and takes moisture out of the fuel. Again thanks for using Answer Army.

While this is certainly a good work around, is Husqvarna gonna correct this design flaw?

Another work around to this problem is to park the tractor facing in a garage or shop. This back lights the tank and puts the the fuel level indicator in shadow. In this was you stand a SBCIH of seeing the fuel level.
Hey Husq! JD has a proper gauge that actually shows a level mechanically. Would make a great retrofit!
