Default Diesel fuel sight gauge

The sight gauges on my diesel tanks are so cloudy they are worthless. They
are made of some 1/2" plastic pipe and I want to replace them. The company
I'm dealing with is so gutless and liability oriented they won't tell me
whether diesel will destroy or erode their ester-based polycarbonate
tubing.

Is there anyone out there with a chemistry background with an opinion on
this?

Just as a novice I'd think that it can work but diesel additives (by
consumers) to stop growth and extend the life of the fuels are probably of
more concern.
