Abstract
A fuel tank usable with lawn mowers, snowblowers and similar small powered equipment is provided. The polyethylene tank is rotationally molded and includes several stepped ledges inside which serve to indicate the proportional volume of fuel remaining in the tank. A wide mouthed fuel inlet is provided to permit visual observation of the fuel level inside the opaque tank in relation to the stepped ledges.
