Probably not. "Retro-reflective" plates use tiny embedded glass beads, so that a significant propoportion of any light that hits them is reflected directly back at the source, regardless of angle. Th

I don't know, I think I'd want a strainer in the tank. The fuel filter is way past the fuel pump, which has a screen that could get clogged by debris. Better to keep the crud in the tank, and there a
