I checked my fuel levels by looking in the sight glasses with the engine running, as the manual instructs, and the fuel is right at the bottom of the openings as it should be. Only a small amount of fuel sloshed out due to vibration. If I ran the car on a hot day, parked it and then opened the sight glasses, what would be normal? Level down a bit after some cooling but still visible through the sight opening? If I was experiencing some percolating I should literally be able to see that happening immediately after turning off the engine, as Lippy described?
