Gauge Sticks & Paste

At Littlejohn Inc, we provide high-quality gauge sticks and water finding paste, essential tools for safely and accurately dropping fuel from petroleum tank trailers. Ensuring that no water is present in a tank before and after a drop is critical to maintaining fuel quality, preventing equipment damage, and avoiding costly downtime. Water contamination can lead to phase separation in ethanol-blended fuels, clogged filters, and even rejected loads, making these tools a necessity for fuel transporters, gas stations, and bulk fuel distributors.

Using a gauge stick and water finding paste together provides a quick, reliable method for detecting water in fuel storage tanks. The gauge stick is lowered into the tank to measure fuel levels, while the applied water finding paste reacts instantly upon contact with water, changing color to indicate contamination. This simple yet effective process allows operators to verify that a tank is safe for fuel delivery, reducing the risk of water-related issues that could compromise fuel integrity.

For those handling petroleum tank trailers, these tools are indispensable for maintaining compliance and protecting fuel quality. A quick check before a drop ensures a smooth and trouble-free delivery, giving peace of mind to both drivers and recipients.
