The top off a pump action spray bottle.

Mark the plastic tube with the depth you want the air gap to be, measuring from the bottom of the tube, overfill the oil slightly, hold the tube inside the fork with the mark against the top edge of the fork, and the bottom of the tube at the depth you want the oil to be. Pump out the excess oil until it stops.

Your air gap will now be exactly the length of the plastic tube, from the point you marked to the bottom.
