    GATS Jar Fuel Tester (12 oz.) GATS Jar Fuel Tester (12 oz.)
    Rated 4.57142857143/5 based on 63 customer reviews
    Product description: This fuel tester allows you to put preflight fuel samples back into your airplane (a great alternative to tossing sampled fuel onto the ground: a practice now discouraged by the EPA). Sample and check your fuel as always. Then, as sampled fuel is returned to the tank, a unique, built-in screen separates solids and non-petroleum contaminants, so only clean, pure fuel is returned to the tank. Reversible sump actuator fits both pin and petcock actuators. Wide mouth collector helps protect hands and clothing. Resilient plastic construction makes the GATS Jar virtually indestructible with normal handling.

    The lid broke after 2 years use. Since this product has a lifetime warranty, I sent back the broken GATS jar and received a replacement in 2 weeks. I was very impressed!

    easy to use; able to better drain residue and moisture from sumps and easily return the clean portion to the tanks

    Cons

    If you are travelling, you know have a smelly jar to place in the cockpit. I have a sealable "Snapware" container just the right size to use when travelling. For daytrips I just let it air out in the hangar.

    Pros

    Large size allows sampling generously from every sump before returning the fuel to a tank.

    Filter works well to trap small debris and even water.

    Cons

    Large size takes up space in baggage compartment tool box.

    Hold on to the probe when returning fuel to the tank. After a while, it gets loose and could fall into the tank. I have never had this happen, but its easy to just put a finger on the probe when pouring.

    Can be hard to clean becasue the lid is sealed with an o-ring which sticks making it hard to unscrew the lid. Use a bit of lube when reassembling.

    General Comments

    Anyone dumping fuel on the ground... STOP IT! Why even put it in the lawn mower or use it for cleaning parts? Put it back in the tanks. If contamination is a concern, then thie GATS jar is your solution.

    I saw another pilot using this and I thought it was a great idea especially with the high price of fuel. It allows you to take a larger fuel sample and then not have to wasted it.

    It solved my problem on the private strip I keep my plane on that sits above the well for several houses. I would have hated to see any traces of contaminents when tested quarterly from me.

    Could be smaller.
