SIGHT GAUGE LEVEL BALL – LEVEL INDICATOR
The oil tank sight gauge level ball, aka the red pea!
Red Level indicator ball for your oil tank sight gauge. An aluminium, hollow red ball that floats on Kerosene and Diesel, brightly coloured to aid visual indication of your oil level. This product is compatible with both the Atkinson Tankmaster sight tube and the Atkinson Push Button sight tube.
Due to the process of anodising the colouring will always include 2 small clear patches or similar markings, this is normal and does not impede the function and use of the float. The coloured anodising is primarily a visual aid and the red colour in particular will vary in shade from batch to batch.
After a while, sight gauges can cloud over due to weathering. It can be increasingly difficult to read the fuel level in your tank once this happens, which is why we offer the red pea as a solution! The brightly coloured ball will float on top of the oil which means you’ll be able to read the level of your fuel regardless of the condition of your gauge.
SIGH TUBING
Another solution is to replace the PVC sight tubing, this can be supplied in 60-metre or 30-metre coils as well as in cut lengths. The price is either per coil or per metre depending on the length you require. Find this here
TIP WHEN FITTING:
Cut on an angle of about 45° to prevent a vacuum from being caused when the black cap is fitted. Cut about 15mm longer than the sight shield to allow for shrinkage.

Does what they say they will do.

What can I say, its a plastic ball. It does help but seems a lot of money for what it is.
R Matthews –
I found the product useable and was what I requested along with the efficient delivery service.
J Salter –
Does exactly what I wanted it to do
Anonymous –
Just what the world needed.
A Smith –
Does everything you would expect of a small sight ball !
R Pearson –
Useful item but expensive for what it is (i.e. a tiny green ball).
Would be better to simply be included with every Tankmaster Service kit, rather than as an expensive separate item.
R McMahon –
Can be clearly seen
Ryan –
Excellent. Alluminium balls not plastic
D Taylor –
Great item, makes it much easier to monitor oil usage.
Snoopy –
Definitely a worthwhile addition to the push button sight gauge, if a little expensive for what it is. Whilst necessarily small (the size of a petit pois pea!) to fit in the tube, it is nevertheless well made, coated and finished. Priced at £2.50 + VAT though I’ve scored VFM 4⭐️ rather than 5⭐️.
With one of these in the sight tube though it is much easier to see the exact fluid level. Take care popping it down the tube as it’s easy to drop being so small and light! For anyone using their sight gauge for water, the aluminium hollow ball floats fine in water too! The technical blurb online just says: “A ground, hollow green ball that floats on Kerosene and diesel, brightly coloured to aid visual indication of your oil level.”
