Niveau Watchman fuel oil tank volume gauge.
 

I am interested in this product, but after an extensive google search,
it appears to only be available in the UK and other parts of Europe.

My 500 gal tank is below grade and on the end of the house that rarely
gets any traffic. This would save me from going out in the cold, rain,
and snow to measure the tank level with the long wooden dipstick. I
can't get to the tank right now because that side has a down slope and
there is a sheet of thick ice covering the snow on the ground. With the
high temps rarely getting above 32º F (0º C) for the last two weeks and
for whenever in the near future, I don't know when that ice will melt
enough for me to get to the tank.
Besides, I tend to forget to check it on a regular basis anyway.
Does anyone know if this product is available in the US, or is there a
similar US product?

I gave up trying to find a price list on that site- and froogle'd
'rocket wireless gauge' - found an ebay bin - #7616817585 .
$250.00 & $20 shipping. Yikes- I could do a lot of stick dipping
for that.

For $25 the Scully seems more reliable if slightly less convenient-
you'd have to walk past the tank.

Jeff's tinyurl from last summer is still good-

Thanks for looking.
The Niveau Watchman is 58.75 GBP including VAT, which translates to
$111.57 USD. Less than half the price of the eBay item.

That's only good for a 275 gal. tank. Mine is 500 gals.

Thanks. The range is between $55 (next state over in Craigslist) and
$96. It looks good. I hope it works.

What's it cost to have your oil dealer set you up with automatic
delvery? Can't you give the problem to him?
