Well, its sides are .45", thus the diagonal is (sq rt of 2) x .45 = .6364" = 16.16mm and it might just fit through a spark plug hole.  Of course, you will have to supply the light.

These are a nice idea, but if you are interested in inspecting your fuel
bays, there are three problems
1. too short - 4-5 feet long is needed
2. cross section too large - check your fuel passages - 3/4" probably
won't pass
3. not steerable

This is why I bought a used colonoscope years ago. Now there are other
products that come closer to our needs.
