Where to get a motorcycle sized hydrometer?
« on: February 09, 2018, 11:34:36 PM »
All the ones I've seen so far are good for car batteries. Years ago I had a small "eye dropper" hydrometer but can't find a source for one now. Any leads?

I used the insides of a ball point pen for that skinny tube and adapted it to suit,i have it on a small hydrometer as you cant suck enough fluid into a normal sized one.
please relax while I google one for you!

Dave, your hydro is creative. I did a further search and found one at NAPA which is quite local to me for $4.

Knock me over with a feather! Walmart carries a baby hydrometer! And it's only $1.94. (Yes it's made in China)...
