In each issue of Plane & Pilot magazine, we share a few new products we think pilots and aviation enthusiasts will enjoy. For our June 2022 magazine issue, we featured a UA-80 Evolution Vest, Eyes Outside Plane Cleaner, a Pivot iPad Mini Gen 6 Case, and so much more!

MultiSump Aircraft Fuel Tester

MultiSump Aircraft Fuel Tester

Price: $28.95
Available at:

This fuel tester allows for up to eight fuel sump testings on the same aircraft without having to empty between checks. After obtaining a sample, you can do an inspection on the fuel in the top container. Afterward, the contents can be emptied into the lower sample cup by pushing down on the top. After all the sumps have been checked, the samples can be emptied from the lower container with a pour spout. The MultiSump+ is a variation that includes a fuel strainer to keep impurities or water from entering the fuel pump during pourback. Constructed with fuel-resistant plastic and stainless steel, it measures 7 x 2.5 inches and weighs .28 pounds.
