The Apollo Oil Tank Gauge is an easy to retrofit ultrasonic level indicator generally used as a domestic oil tank gauge.

The Apollo is made up of a transmitter that is installed at the tank, and a digital receiver that can be plugged inside the building to conveniently display the tank level without the user having to remember to go outside to check.

This oil tank level indicator measures the tank’s contents and transmits the level to the receiver, provided that is within its 200 metre range. The standard version of this oil tank level monitor is suitable for plastic tanks only. However, an adaptor can be purchased as an accessory to make it work on steel tanks.

Please note, this fuel tank level gauge must be calibrated to the size of your tank.

The Quantum fuel tank gauge is ideal for heavy duty, industrial and plant applications, and can be used with water, diesel, kerosene, lubricants and tanks containing more aggressive fluids.

Please note, that upon order of this gauge you will be emailed a questionnaire, you will need to fill this in and send it to sales@northerntankstore.co.uk. As calibrated fuel tank gauges are made to order, there may be a lead time of 5-10 working days.

The MT Profil Fuel Tank Float Gauge from Afriso is a small mechanical clock gauge for measuring the tank's contents by a float that sits on the fuel and goes up and down with the level. Whilst also popular for diesel storage tanks, it is most commonly used as a domestic heating oil tank gauge. The small display shows a scale of Empty 1⁄4, 1⁄2, 3⁄4 and Full for factory calibrated versions, allowing the user to quickly identify the approximate fuel tank level.

This oil tank level gauge is available in different versions depending upon the specific height of the fuel tank, or there is an 8'0 adjustable version. The 8'0 adjustable version of the MT Profil oil tank float gauge displays the level reading in cm, and has a reversible display which goes to 150cm max on one side, and 250cm max on the other.

These oil tank gauges are supplied as standard with 1 1⁄2” BSP Male for easy fitting on the top of the storage tank or drum. If your tank has a 2" BSP hole, you can fit this gauge by purchasing a 2" x 1 1/2" reducing bush. If your tank has a vent hole, you can connect the gauge by fitting a 2" barrel nipple into the hole and adding a combi vent cap which has a 1 1/2" BSP thread to screw in the gauge to prevent an additional hole being drilled.

The Cleanfill 2" Overfill Prevention Valve from Lafon can be fitted to a tank as a piece of safety and environmental protection equipment. This overfill protection device can be used on fuel and diesel storage tanks that are filled by gravity flow or a pressure pump system. When the tank is full, the valve will close preventing any further fluid from being dispensed into the tank. There is also a version available to be used on AdBlue™ storage tanks, a fluid which is known as DEF in America and other countries.

The Fuel Tank Vent Cap is to be used on an above ground fuel storage tank’s 2” male thread to provide ventilation. These vent caps, which are designed to be fitted on to heating oil storage tanks, have a plastic mesh that prevents particles and debris from getting into the tank from this point. As these have no thread, either side of the oil tank vent cap has a screw that cuts into the male thread on the tank enabling it to be held into place.

The SpillStop 2” Overfill Prevention Valve protects both the environment and the individual from the effects of fuel spillage. This overfill protection device is suitable for use on both fuel and diesel storage tanks, which may have a pumping or gravity feed system. Once the tank has reached its maximum fuel capacity, this valve will close to prevent any additional fuel from being delivered, thus preventing overfilling. A version of this can be supplied specifically for use on plastic tanks.

Flow Rate Range (Litres per minute) - 35-600

Pressure Range (Bar) - 0.15-6
