Thank you! I wasn't sure if i should go by the top or bottom of the gauge. Mystery solved. Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful!
omgosh!!! fantastic video!!!! great info
Great hob on your videos
First of all, thanks for the video. Secondly, if the gauge reads at the last,bottom line,does it mean the tank is completely empty or there are some oil left in it ? If there are some left,how many gallons,are left,typically ? Thanks
50 gallons bottom line
What about underground oil tank? How do you how fuel is in your tank if there is no gauge?
Hi. You would need to "stick" the tank with a ruler made for that purpose. Typically homes or businesses with inground tanks will have this ruler. Thx
Question…. Is it possible for the delivery guy to pull up, open my garage, pump 157 gallons of oil into my tank, fill out a receipt, and walk to the mailbox 60 feet away, back to his truck and pull away all in less than 5 minutes???
Hi. The trucks pump at a gallon per second or faster depending on the truck, so all of that is possible depending on the driver. The time is a misconception by many people. We are expected to be at the home longer than it actually takes. Many days drivers have to reach 40-50 homes or more, so they are at each home for as little time as possible. You would know for sure how much is delivered by the "meter block" on the receipt. That is typically regulated by the state, so if it reads all 0's as a start meter reading and 157 as and end meter reading, then 157 gallons passed through the hose. It can't be tampered with by the driver or anyone else unless the seal is broken on the meter.
Is that a wifi gauge on the top side? Does it give out accurate level of oil been on the far side and not centered?
Yes, that is the wi-fi "Smart Oil Gauge " available on Amazon. The gauge works by measuring the height of the oil in the tank and giving a reading based on the standard dimensions of the tank, so the location of the gauge (left, middle, right) doesn't matter.
