Plastics like clear Polyurethane is very translucent even in night lighting conditions. Strength?? Unnecessary with the pressures of our systems on the suction side. DO the K.I.S.S. thing and use Aluminum Fittings & Tbg and a high grade/Petroleum tolerant plastic "hose" for fuel lines in the cockpit & wings too. Vibration is the bane of aircraft equipment and eventually you will at one time or another, a fouled plug, or whatever, that will set up the right frequency to shatter that glass. I wrap my polyurethane fuel lines with electrical tape for additional chafeing protection and have had no wear on the tape or hardening of the plastic lines in 9 years using it. The original sight guage was a common Tygon which hardened and shrunk in length slightly in a year or so in gas service.
