A.3.5 Dipstick and guide
The dipstick guide is of a rigid construction mounted at the centre of
the tank. It is constructed to maintain the dipstick in a vertical
position, to prevent the scraping of material from the dipstick as it is
withdrawn, or the welling of material as the dipstick is being lowered
into the tank. The dipstick is constructed in the form of a T-piece
which provides the fixed reference point of the dipstick readings. The
space between the tip of the dipstick and the bottom of the tank
should be at least 50 mm.
