Fuel Tester by Sporty's
Fuel contamination is the major cause of engine-failure accidents. Every pilot should sight-check for contamination and correct octane during preflight and after each refueling. This tester will fit all popular quick drain valves—includes a push-in adapter for recessed drains. Octane color codes are molded onto the transparent cylinder. A reversible (slotted/Phillips) blade screwdriver is mounted on the tip. We have decided to offer the most popular fuel tester on the market at a special price. So, if you don't own one, or if yours is discolored, cracked or missing parts, now is the time to buy one. |

Date - 1-30-2009 Pilot Rating - Commercial Overall Durability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Always a great tester, I like the choice of screwdrivers on the head of the unit. It's also easy to keep clean ConsThe flange that holds the crewdriver in place should maybe be of a metal rather than plastic. I have had one crack before.

Date - 5-28-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Small, easy to see and use. Plastic tube and screwdriver are adequate. ConsPlastic pin at the top is horrible. You can break them just looking at them wrong. Went through over 12 pins in a month and decided to go with a metal pin tester. Best choice ever! This tester would be just perfect if the pins weren't terribly prone to breaking. Even with great care (turned mine upside down when not in use) they break with the utmost of care given. General CommentsSpend the extra few dollars to get Sporty's heavy duty tester (the blue one). It's worth every penny! |
