1 - Put the VesselView Race Edition into
Manual Tank Calibration
mode.
2 - For each point in the table, enter the tank sending unit reading from the
"current actual" value on the display.
3 - If the tank sender does not read on the low or high end, this amount should
not be used in the tank calculations.
4 - After filling the tank, take the measurable amount (between 0% and 100%),
and enter it into VesselView as tank capacity.
5 - Enter the calibration points from the data in the table for each point in the
Manual Tank Calibration
screen.
6 - Use alternate positions if you want to adjust for various operating positions
(on the trailer, in the water at rest, on plane etc.).
7 - If the measurable capacity does not start at zero, enter the amount needed
for the sender to start reading in the last unused "Measurable Capacity" field.
IMPORTANT: Measurable capacity starts when the sender reading starts increasing (the
sender reading for an empty tank may be greater than 0%) and stops when the sender
reading stops increasing (this may be less than 100%). Any volume added to the tank
before the sender reading increases or after the sender stops increasing is unmeasured
capacity. It is important, to ensure accuracy, that the unmeasured capacity is subtracted
from the total volume added and that only the measurable volume be entered as the tank
capacity.
In the example shown, the sender reading stayed at 3.0% until 16 gallons were added to
the tank. It also stopped increasing at 93.0% even though there is an additional 26 gallons
added. These 42 gallons, if used in the calculations, would cause significant errors in the
calculated volume remaining. In this example the tank capacity entered into VesselView
should be approximately 158 gallons to ensure the most accurate reading. If you left the
tank capacity at 200 gallons and you properly calibrated full to be 93.0%, when the sender
reading drops from 93.0% to 92.9%, the reading will change from 200.0 gallons to 199.9
gallons when we know that there is really only 173.9 gallons in the tank. For this same
reason, the 16 gallons added before the sender starts to read should not be used. This is
why, in the example, the Measurable Capacity is 158 (200 gallon tank ‑ 26 gallons of top
end unmeasurable capacity = 174 gallons, 174 gallons ‑ 16 gallons of bottom end
unmeasurable capacity = 158 gallons that are measurable).
