Review on Barker MFG Co. 1214.1008 26835 Tote-Along Bobber Gauge with Full Tank Indicator by Hayden Hart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not very suitable for Barker Tanks

I buy this float together with the Barker Tote Tank. It works great when nothing goes into the tank and filling the float is useless. The float goes into a hose outlet that bleeds air out of the tank when you fill it, and since you also have to use that float port there is nowhere for the air to escape. I drilled a few small holes in the top of the float holder to let the air out, but this still causes the float to move towards the top of the holder during inflation, rendering it unusable during inflation. Barker needs to install two hose outlets in the tank: one for the air vent when filling and one for the float. I ended up gradually filling the tank, placing a float in the hose port opening and repeating this process until the float indicated the level in the tank. It's tedious, but better than overflowing the tank.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Appearance
