FAQs
The Gem oil tank sight gauge comes with 40-micron paper filter with alloy bowl and an isolation valve to allow it to be serviced without draining the tank first. In addition, this oil tank level gauge is multi directional so fuel can be taken from left or right, which means that it can also feed two boilers.
This oil tank sight gauge/ oil tank float gauge is cost effective and provide a good ideation of the content levels, but it is not as accurate as some of the more sophisticated tank gauges. If a higher level of accuracy is desired you might need to consider some of our more advanced models such as Unitel gauge suitable for both diesel fuel and oil heating, Piusi Ocio fuel tank gauge perfect solution for diesel and Apollo oil heating tank gauge for heating oil.
The simple answer is yes you can. When installing the oil tank sight gauge on a plastic tank that has a recessed outlet point you will have to fit an extension before the sight gauge to bring the tube flush with the outside of the tank, so it doesn’t bend around the outside of the tank.
The replacement of the oil heating filter will depend on several factors including the quality of the fuel, the usage of fuel, the weather, the age and condition of the fuel tank. For example, if your tank is old and has not been cleaned out, then fuel filters can clog quicker and slow the flow rates down. If you have a high fuel usage then filters would need changing more often. We would advise changing the filter elements at the start and end of the winter period to ensure smooth service, or a minimum at your annual tank service.
