Water level indicator, method of manufacture thereof and articles comprising the same

A method for manufacturing a water level indicator for a pontoon tank comprising:

• contacting a support mechanism with an extension system and a movable portion that comprises a plurality of levers to form a float mechanism for the pontoon tank;
• wherein the support mechanism is fixedly attached to a manway cover that protects the pontoon tank;
• wherein the extension system comprises an extension rod adjustment system that contacts the support mechanism at a first end and that contacts a float at a second end that is opposed to the first end;
• and
• wherein the movable portion comprises a plurality of levers;
• wherein the movable portion contacts the main support mechanism and the extension system;
• and wherein the plurality of levers act cooperatively to displace a gauge rod in proportion to a fluid level in the tank.

A water level indicator for a pontoon tank comprising:

• a float mechanism that comprises:
• a support mechanism that does not move;
• wherein the main support mechanism is fixedly attached to a manway cover that protects the pontoon tank;
• an extension system comprising an extension rod that contacts a float at a one end and a gauge rod at the opposed to the end that contacts the float;
• where the support mechanism contacts the extension rod at its mid-section;
• and where a displacement of the float is transmitted to the gauge rod causing it to be proportionately displaced.
