Hi All

I said I would report back.

Sorry Bruce I like to complicate things a little!

The final version of my petrol thief dip stick.  A brass tube milled with a slot and a tight fit plastic tube running down the inside.  Works very well.  My only concern is the reaction of the plastic to petrol but I’ve had a small bit of the plastic pipe soaking in petrol for several hours without ill effect. The plastic will only be in contact with petrol for a few seconds each use. I’ve just got to put some saw cuts in the brass to calibrate it.

Cheers

Howard
