Floating gauge for oil tank level?

BopNiblets

Hi, I've seen these things online:

Do they have to be installed on compatible opening in the tank? Could they be retrofitted to an older tank if possible, I can't imagine you can just cut a hole in the tank and pop it in...
I'm looking for one for the mother's tank instead of having to climb up and drop a stick in to check the oil levels(!)

I don't know. You might find that info on the internet.
