Here in Westbury, Wiltshire, we have made the Atkinson Tankmaster in our machine shop since the late 1960s. In fact we started off as an engineering organisation and the late Mr Atkinson developed the Tankmaster for his own oil tank that was stored in the loft so that he could keep an eye on the amount of oil that he required for the engineering business. It was an oil delivery company owner that spotted the potential when he came in one day to top up the oil tank. When he saw it attached to the tank he enquired as to what the device was and when told about it he responded with “If you can make those for me then I can sell them for you”. The rest is history. The Tankmaster became ‘THE’ appliance of choice for monitoring the contents of oil tanks around the country.

The Tankmaster is still made here to this day, even though there have been many attempts to copy these from places as far away as China. Nothing has ever come close to meeting the effectiveness and quality of the British made Tankmaster.
