A plumb bob for detecting differing fluids in tanks and vessels includes a tubular housing having enclosed ends. An LED infrared transmitter disposed in the tubular housing transmits infrared signals through fluids in which the plum bob is immersed to a LED infrared receiver. Circuitry disposed within the housing provides power to the LEDs and operates an LED driver to determine fluid parameters for the types of fluids in which the plumb bob is immersed. One or more vibration signal generators emits different vibrations according to the types of fluids detected. The vibration signal generators transmit the vibrations from the housing through a gauge tape line to a gauge tape reel held by an operator, who can determine the fluid types by the vibrations.
