The first step in custom calibration of the tank level sender is to provide an estimated capacity of the
tank. This estimated capacity must be /- 25% of the actual capacity. To set the estimated tank
capacity, use the arrow keys to adjust the displayed value until the desired value is shown. Then,
press the Accept key to confirm your selection and continue with the calibration process. If you desire
to stop the calibration process, pressing the
Back Key ( ) will end the process and return you to
the Tank Levels Calibration menu.

The next step in the calibration process is to fill the tank and indicate the volume of fluid in the tank at
various points while filling the tank. This process should be started with an empty tank. You only need
to indicate two calibration points for a rectangular tank, and can use up to 16 calibration points for a
tank with a more complex shape. Figure 103 shows a screenshot of the first calibration step. Enter
the first calibration point with an empty tank (0.0 Gallons/liters) by pressing the
Accept key. The
“Current Point” highlight will advance to the next point.
