If the sensor cannot be installed in the geometric center of the tank, try to pick a spot

as close to the geometric center as possible; that spot also must coincide with the
point where the tank’s height is at its maximum. This way you

minimize the

magnitude of the oscillations

in the level readings caused by the fuel’s sloshing

during trips.

Why must the sensor be installed in the geometric center of the
tank?

The highest point must be selected

for the sensor to be able

to measure all the fuel

inside the tank

without any blind zones

.

The readings of the sensor installed in the center of the tank will be less affected by the

fuel sloshing than the readings of the sensor installed close to one of the tank’s walls.

If the sensor cannot be installed in the tank’s center, consider installing two sensors -

one at each end of the tank. Each sensor will compensate for the fuel surges and drops in
the readings of another.
