I have been using a dipstick on the RP for the last 35 years or so and it has proved completely reliable ( when I remember to use it) the current version has been painted at the operating end and has a machined groove for each 1 gallon indication. I always carry it in the driver's door map pocket and have never had a problem with fuel fumes. I do tend to drive with the window open and always carry a spare 5 litre can just in case the stick fuses.
