Measuring Oil
9 Answers
I ran out of oil some time ago and do depend on this guage stick thing on the side of the big tank. This guage is now old and full of condensation so I don't know where I am with the oil.
Apart from sticking a big stick into the tank is there a way of gauging the oil. Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.is it possible to fit a 'watchman' tank alarm/guage to the tank? your local heating engineer should be able to tell you, transmitter is fitted to top inside the tank(i assume ts got a battery in it) and the guage is plugged into a socket inside the house and left switched on it displays a number of bars relating to the oil level. also if the ol level drops faster than (i think more than 2 inches in 24 hours) an alarm sounds indicating either oil theft or possibly a leak. i top my tank up when it drops to 1 or 2 bars.
