If you buy the tester alone, the first time you use it, you'll wish you bought the strainer for it also so just get them both and save the S&H |

Cons It's really the same as the fuel testers with the plastic pins except for the metal actuator, which is the same size and material as a wire hanger. In that sense i feel that the price was slightly unjust. It's a fuel tester, and for less that $20 any minor annoyances in it's design seem arbitrary. It does what it was designed to do. |

I was impressed with the quality of plastic and assembly. Assuming I don't lose this or run it over, I doubt I'll need another tester for a long time. ConsThis is a standard size, but it seems to me that it would be a little small for a plane with more than 2 drain valves without having to constantly empty it between tests. A pretty minor problem, though. General CommentsHaven't used the splash guard at all yet. It seems a little superfulous to me. |
