Never worry about running out of home heating oil again – with the Tankscout wireless tank monitor, you can track your heating levels from your favourite device.

Heating oil users often don’t know how much home heating oil is left in their tanks. Tanks can have hard-to-read, unreliable gauges – or sometimes no gauges at all. For some customers, the only way to know their oil level might be to do a manual dip with a stick, which can be a real balancing act, create a mess, offer an inaccurate picture and even contaminate your fuel.

But there is a better way. With our Tankscout tank monitor, you can:

  • Check your oil level on the go. See how much oil is left in your tank by viewing your tank readings in the myWatson Portal, from your smartphone, tablet or PC – even when you’re away from your home.

  • Get auto top-ups. Replenish your home heating oil automatically at a pre-determined trigger level (such as when your tank level reaches 30%).

  • Receive refuelling alerts. Don’t have an auto top-up scheduled? No worries. We can call you as soon as you hit your minimum limit level and schedule a delivery.

  • Monitor multiple tanks from one location. Have a holiday home? Checking in on a relative’s house? You can manage the levels of multiple tanks easily from one single Tankscout account.

  • Receive routine reminders. We'll send you weekly emails, so you’ll always know how much oil is in your tank.
