O.K, Which national lab do you work for? I'm at Brookhaven on L.I. By the way, I opted for the twist gas cap conversion. 3 screws $67 no key. Then you can use the two optical sensors that you allready have. :D
Got a picture of that gas cap conversion mounted on the tank?

I have got the down load off David. As I was reading it I was already realising that this tells you when you fuel pipe is empty and will have a few hundred yds left of fuel.

     I was thinking some how of this very clever and simple way of devising some sort of similar system with fuel in a pipe design but one that will warn of low level.

    Perhaps that same  clear fuel pipe taken off a T and then up under the stock area and looped back down again . This pipe would contain fuel relating to the level in the tank . An alarm could be anywhere in this pipe meaning a warning of 2 liters remaining!!

Why stop there, How about a 12 volt servo that turns the petcock to reserve? Then, instead of a buzzer, you could have a sexy womens voice ask for $5.

Sorry --my description of a slightly different place to which to put the devise seems to have been misunderstood.
 Its exactly the same thing but in an external tube showing fuel level.  Its hardly any different only you can have a 1-or 2 liter warning.

     I cant do the electronics bit though, Its well explained and to David it is easy. It very professionally drawn too
