I use one like it at work. Works well on non reflective surface when
I use it on shiny metal I put duct tape on surface. I would probably be accurate
on the oil tank. You have to watch the size of the sample area which gets
bigger the farther you are from the surface. Gives instant reading no time
to wait for the temp to stabilize. Hope this helps.

I note that only a tiny square of non- reflecting tape might be applied to the sump tank, not repainting the entire tank. Hartmut's $12 thermometer is much like the $4 candy thermometerI already have. However, it doesn't have the added features of the $30 one I asked about, i.e., it can seek out hot spots on heating/air conditionng ducts, and temps of hot/cold air coming out of the vents, AND tell your actual hot water heater temps to compare with the settings you have made. Again, I ask if any of you have experience with the device I mentioned, and is a laser pointer a desired feature?

It will give a good idea of the temp of the oil tank, for example. Which is close to the actual oil temp. The tank needs to be painted flat black.

Could it be used to measure post-flight oil sump temp? Anyone out there with hands on experience? A version with a laser pointer is only 10 bucks more.
