Louis,
Well, we at least spell it right...
Another way to make the syringe markings last is with clear 'Shipping and Mailing Tape' like Scotch sells on the small red dispenser/handles. Do this before letting a new syringe near fuel...
This tape can be rubbed down real well, leaving very small voids around raised lettering, but is otherwise pretty invisible. It might not be fuelproof to long immersion in fuel, but it is slick enough that fuel can be wiped clean before there's damage.
Btw, anyone who needs to measure ether/kerosene-, or gasoline-containing fuel can adapt a typical 60cc syringe to a red (or black) 4 oz fuel bulb by trimmng the 'ears' on the syringe barrel to fit the bulb's groove, intended for the spout cap. Those fuel ingredients do fairly rapid damage to the usual silicone-type plunger caps.
