These Direct Fuel Level Indicators are quality made of acrylic PVC tube with a calibrated scale inside. Calibrated to individual tanks, they allow an accurate check of on board fuel level indicators and eliminate the guess work. For 19.5 Gallon tanks. |
Scale on strip inside is totally off. When the bottom of the tube is just touching fuel the tank has about 5 1/2 gallons in it not 0 gallons. Needs someone to actually calibrate scale with real tank
The plastic on this stick seems to be quite a bit more flimsy than other fuel dip sticks I have used. Also, the scale is a piece of paper stuck inside the tube, not printed on the tube itself. It does not seem very durable for the price. If it was less than $10 I could have given it more stars.

Per the supplier: If it's a 19.5 gal tank it should work fine. If not, you could buy our universal fuel tube that you can calibrate yourself. Part number for the universal is 12-21260.
