Description
Overview:
The Tank Level Gauge Float Type for 5 Foot Tanks (OEM No. 812 452) is a mechanical contents gauge for fixed fuel and oil storage tanks.

Built from durable, corrosion‐resistant materials, it is suitable for outdoor use on plastic or steel tanks. The gauge is designed for tanks with a liquid depth up to 5 feet (1.5 metres) and fits a standard 1 inch male BSPP thread (25.4 mm nominal). Compatible liquids include diesel, heating oil, kerosene, B100 biodiesel, antifreeze, and lubricating oil. It is a practical choice for residential heating systems and commercial storage where simple, accurate level monitoring helps prevent run‐dry and overfill issues.
