Putting the wrong fuel in a tank is costly. This rotary indicator clearly shows the fuel in a tank or at a fueling station: push the dial in, turn it to the desired legend and it locks in place with a stainless steel spring. Made entirely of 304 stainless steel, mounting hardware included, it lasts a long time even in harsh environments. This type of indicator is also known as a “Y-Tag” in vehicle fleets. It is sold individually.

Features of the rotary fuel indicator

• 304 stainless steel, mounting hardware included, for corrosion resistance.
• Push-and-turn dial, locked in position by a stainless steel spring.
• Eight fuel legends on a single rotary dial.
• Thick clear protective polyester film that protects the legends from abrasion, weather and fuel.
• 3/8 in mounting hole.

Dial legends

The dial shows eight legends: premium gasoline (PREM.), mid-grade ethanol, regular ethanol, biodiesel B100, diesel, dyed diesel, dyed furnace oil no. 2 and dyed stove oil no. 1. The dyed fuel legends are written in English and French; the others are in English.

Fuel indicator applications

The indicator is used at truck fleet fueling stations, construction and heavy equipment yards, fuel storage tanks, mobile refueling units and industrial or agricultural operations. It helps reduce identification errors during filling; always verify the fuel before transfer.

For a diesel tank truck, complete the identification with the diesel fuel UN1202 (ECLA1202) placard.
