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?

I'd lose the glass as it makes for a weak point in your tankage. A
dipstick is a lot easier to use, safer and after you get used to your
engine, not even necessary. I could always predict my fuel needs at any
given time based on hours of engine use. You do have a Hobbes, right?
