Which Smart Oil Gauge is right for you?

Both monitor your tank from your phone, alert you before you run low, and track your usage. The difference is how much of the tank the sensor can see — and which size openings it fits.

Reads a 275-gallon vertical tank up to 235 gallons — a fresh delivery sits above that, so it shows 235 until you've burned some off.

Find the gauge that fits your tank.

Steel tanks: above ground only, 138 to 550 gallon, vertical or horizontal, single or side-by-side. Roth double-wall tanks: the 400L, 620L, 1000L and 1000LH all work with the Roth adapter.

Why Duo

Two sensors. The whole tank, top to bottom.

Duo carries a second ultrasonic sensor, and between the two of them they read all the way to the top of the tank. There's no part of your tank they can't measure — from the day the truck pulls away to the day you're nearly empty, the number on your phone is your real number.

  • See what you actually got. Once the delivery is done, your phone shows the real level instead of a gauge sitting at full.
  • Accurate at the top of the range. Duo reports real gallons while the tank is still full, not only once the level has dropped.
  • Same on every tank size. Duo measures the full range on a 275 or 330, vertical or horizontal, and on a Roth.

255 gal
What a full delivery actually looks like on a “275-gallon” tank. Nobody fills a tank to the brim — the driver has to leave air space at the top, so a full delivery on a 275 comes to roughly 255 gallons. Duo measures the whole tank, so 255 is the number you see on your phone.

For reference, a single-sensor gauge reads this same tank up to 235 gallons.

How it works

See how it works.

  1. 1
    It goes in the spare plug. Take out the unused plug on top of your tank and thread the gauge in with a pipe wrench and a little pipe dope. No drilling, no wiring, and nothing touching the fuel line.
  2. 2
    It reads the oil with sound. An ultrasonic pulse travels down the tank, bounces off the surface of the oil and comes back. The gauge times the echo and turns it into gallons.
  3. 3
    It sends the number to your phone. The gauge joins your home Wi-Fi during setup, then uploads on the schedule you pick — anywhere from once an hour to once a day.

Your tank, on your phone

Gallons remaining, gallons per day, and days until you need a delivery. The gauge reads your tank every hour and uploads on the schedule you choose — anywhere from once an hour to once a day.

Alerts before you run low

A text and an email when your tank drops below a quarter — so a cold snap is never the thing that tells you.

See where it goes

Your burn rate in gallons — by the hour, day, week, month or year. Turn the thermostat down two degrees and watch what it actually does.

Designed and assembled in the USA.

Precision-machined aluminum housing, an ultrasonic sensor that takes hourly readings, and a battery rated for years — built and assembled here, shipped from our own shelves in Danbury, Connecticut.

When something goes wrong, you call us and a person picks up. That's harder to find than the technology is.
