Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge
Product Code : LSK-E-10494
Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge (SKU LSK-E-10494) measures how fast a test engine uses fuel: students time the engine as it draws a set volume from a calibrated pipette and calculate the fuel flow rate. It fits between the fuel tank and the engine on the engine test set and works with petrol or diesel. Science Lab Supplies supplies the gauge from Ambala, India to engineering colleges, polytechnics, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The gauge consists of a precision-calibrated two-bulb pipette with control valves. It mounts on the instrumentation frame of the test set, and every connection uses self-sealing couplings, so the gauge can be connected and disconnected quickly with minimum loss or spillage of fuel.

Applications and Experiments for the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge
Fuel first fills the pipette from the tank. A valve then cuts off the tank so the engine draws only from the pipette, and students record the time taken to use a set volume. From that time they calculate fuel flow rate, the starting point for fuel consumption and efficiency results.
- B.Tech/B.E. mechanical: specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency tests.
- Diploma mechanical and automobile engineering: measuring engine fuel consumption.
- Heat balance tests, where fuel flow gives the energy input.
- Comparing fuel use of petrol and diesel engines on one bench.
Standard Scope of Supply
The gauge is supplied as the calibrated two-bulb pipette assembly with its control valves and self-sealing couplings, ready to mount on the test set instrumentation frame. The engine test set, test engines and fuel are not included and can be quoted as separate items.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Whether you are adding one gauge to an existing bench or equipping several engine test stations, the quotation sets out packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you name. Other test-set ancillaries and engines can be quoted on the same document.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is fuel consumption measured with this gauge?
The pipette is filled from the tank, then the tank is shut off so the engine runs on pipette fuel alone. Timing the consumption of a set volume gives the fuel flow rate.
Can it be used with both petrol and diesel engines?
Yes. The gauge is suitable for use with petrol or diesel, so a single unit can serve both kinds of test engine that you run on the same bench.
Where does the gauge fit on the test set?
It mounts on the instrumentation frame and connects between the fuel tank and the engine under test through self-sealing couplings, which keep fuel loss and spillage to a minimum.
Who supplies the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge?
Science Lab Supplies ships it from Ambala, India to engineering colleges, training institutes and distributors, and quotes it alone or with the engines and test set it serves.
Related Engine Testing Equipment
Fuel flow is one input to an engine test; load, exhaust losses and the engine itself make up the rest. These four items from the Engines range sit on the same bench as the gauge and can be listed on a single quotation.
- Small Engine Test Set — test bed whose instrumentation frame carries the gauge.
- 4 Stroke Petrol Engine — petrol test engine on a precision bed plate.
- 4 Stroke Diesel Engine — diesel test engine with colour-coded fuel tank.
- Exhaust Gas Calorimeter — completes the energy balance by measuring exhaust heat.
