I'm waaaaay late heading to the hanger, but I just thought about an old aluminum air/oil separator that I have at the hanger.  I'm thinking it might make a good expansion tank/sensor vessel.  Made a note to dig it up and look at it. I'm off.

Old Volvos (& many other cars) use pressurized expansion tanks for the rad. & you can see at a glance where the coolant level is during preflight.

Discarded small fire extinguisher bottles can work well & they are probably free from most fire protection companies. Dryer bottles from auto a/c systems will work too.
