Robin - visual fuel quantity check

The club where I instruct is about to get a diesel powered Robin on a 3 month trial.

It has been said that it is impossible to do a visual check on the fuel contents and that also due to the geometry of the filler neck etc it is also impossible to design a "dipstick" to verify the fuel quantity without relying on the fuel gauge. Can anyone confirm this or whether it is at all possible to verify the contents - thanks for any help.
