Default Oil tank move/replacement/installation/commission

I don't understand why the sight tube is on a tap. Can anyone
enlighten me .. ?

Same reason as gauge glasses on steam boilers have them - to turn off
the jet/fountain if/when the glass breaks. Traditionally have a handle
that gravity pulls to the "open" position.
