Can I borrow your refractometer?

If anyone can loan me a refractometer for a couple hours or so, I want to check the accuracy of my hydrometer. Just let me know. TIA.

I would let you borrow mine but with gas prices you could buy one cheaper than coming to get it.

Yeah, hoping someone a little closer than you might have one, but I appreciate the offer.

Great big huge Thanks!! to Nick for letting me borrrow his refractometer. It showed what I feared might be true. The spg in my tank was actually 1.030 according to his refractometer, while my hydrometer was showing it at about 1.0255(needle somewhere between 1.025 and 1.026). I've been slowly reducing the spg over the last several hours. Once again, thank you Nick.

No problem. I am glad you were able to find out about the high SG.

Anyone who needs their hydrometer calibrated, bring it by and I will gladly do it for you.
