Product Overview

The oil dip rod, also known as a level gauge stick, is a precision tool used to manually measure the liquid level inside tank trucks. Designed for reliability in fuel logistics, it provides accurate height readings between the tank opening and the liquid surface, helping operators verify remaining volume or confirm full discharge.

Our level gauge sticks are manufactured from EN AW 6063 T66 aluminum with stainless steel brackets and a brass locking mechanism. The laser-engraved millimeter scale ensures permanent, abrasion-resistant markings that remain visible even after long-term use with fuel or chemicals. Available in standard lengths of 0.50 m, 0.60 m, 1.00 m, 1.50 m, 2.00 m, and 3.00 m.

For enhanced accuracy and control, the T-bar dipstick design features a horizontal grip that allows better handling, helps keep the rod vertical during insertion, and reduces vibration, minimizing reading errors in deep tanks, viscous fuels, or hazardous environments.

Tank trucks typically use T-bar measuring sticks with 1mm graduations. The dipstick is coated with detection paste, inserted vertically through the inspection port, and removed to read the ullage height, the distance from the tank opening to the liquid level.

The T-bar handle allows for dual-handed control, helps maintain vertical alignment, and minimizes measurement error caused by tilting, especially useful in deep tanks or with heavy fuels like crude oil or bunker fuel.

Yes, all DESEINOR gauge sticks feature laser-etched scales that are wear-resistant and fuel-resistant, ensuring long-term legibility even under harsh operating conditions.

Open the tank hatch, insert a clean dipstick until it touches the tank bottom, then remove it. The fuel level will be visible along the stick, allowing you to visually confirm the liquid depth based on the measurement markings.
