Description
The Balcrank 4520-024 Morrison Bros Universal Tank Level Gauge is a professional-grade bulk fluid storage tank accessory designed to provide convenient visual monitoring of liquid levels in compatible oil storage and lubrication systems. Featuring a 0–108-inch measuring range and 2-inch NPT male threaded connection, this tank level gauge offers a practical solution for automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, heavy-equipment service centers, and industrial fluid-handling operations.
Designed for use with taller bulk storage tanks, the Balcrank 4520-024 helps technicians and shop managers monitor remaining fluid levels without repeatedly opening the tank or relying solely on manual inspection.
The gauge features a mechanical float-operated measuring system that tracks the fluid level inside a compatible storage tank. As the liquid level changes, the gauge provides a corresponding visual reading, allowing operators to monitor available lubricant inventory and plan fluid replenishment.
With its extended 108-inch measuring range (9 feet), the Balcrank Morrison Bros tank gauge is especially useful for taller tanks that require greater measurement capacity than shorter-range level indicators.
The 2-inch NPT male connection provides a threaded mounting option for compatible tank bung openings, supporting integration into properly configured bulk oil storage systems.
Whether you're installing a new centralized lubrication system, replacing an existing tank level indicator, or upgrading your shop's bulk oil inventory monitoring equipment, the Balcrank 4520-024 Morrison Bros Tank Level Gauge provides a convenient, mechanical solution for monitoring stored fluid levels.
Unlike electronic level monitoring systems, this mechanical tank gauge provides visual fluid level information without requiring an external electrical power source.
Important: Balcrank identifies part 4520-024 as the Morrison Bros tank gauge with a 0–108-inch range. Confirm the tank's internal height, bung connection, fluid compatibility, and installation clearance before ordering.

Tank Compatibility and Installation Considerations
Before installing the Balcrank 4520-024 Morrison Bros Tank Level Gauge, confirm the following:
-
Tank Height: Verify that the 0–108-inch measuring range matches the tank's internal measuring requirements.
-
Threaded Opening: Confirm the available tank bung accepts the specified 2-inch NPT male connection.
-
Fluid Compatibility: Verify the gauge's wetted materials are suitable for the fluid being stored.
-
Installation Clearance: Allow sufficient room for the float mechanism and gauge installation.
-
Tank Configuration: Confirm compatibility with the tank's internal components, pump suction equipment, and other accessories.
Note: A tank level gauge measures fluid depth, not necessarily the exact number of gallons remaining. Converting depth to volume requires the appropriate tank calibration chart or dimensional information.
