    I have a 2008 bertram 410 with cummins qsc 8.3’s. The sight glass that shows diesel tank level is broken and is leaking diesel from the bottom part of the glass. Do you know where I can find it?
    Thanks,
    Captain Carlos Rojas

    No one yet? The “glass’ should be called Borosilicate glass which is tougher than standard glass.

    Ask around some hydraulic shops or diesel fuel suppliers.
    Also Mcmaster Carr may have some.

    The tops and bottoms of the sight glasses should have shutoff valves right at the tanks for exactly this reason.

    It is tough stuff but not infallible.
