Samplers can either be lowered with a specialised hand-winch, for smooth and clean operation, or, more crudely, with a length of cotton rope, cotton is used because it is chemically resistant to all fuels, any also fibre that enters the fuel will not harm it, what with fuel filters being made from cotton fibre also. Rope can be found in the options below, priced per metre.
For ease of transportation (suitable for samplers of up to 54.5 cm long x 11 cm wide) we can also offer the Robinson Manufacturing Gaugers Tray, as shown below, please click the image to take you to the product:
