How Do You Measure The Level In A Diesel Fuel Tank?
If you have a boat, motor home, truck or tractor that burns diesel fuel, you must know the level of diesel in your tank so you don’t run out of fuel unexpectedly. You can check the tank level in several ways, including by using a fuel gauge that monitors levels with a float, a gauge that operates on air pressure (such as a Tank Tender) or a simple measuring stick. Locate the diesel fuel gauge on your vehicle. The gauge is usually near the diesel tank or near the driving console. Read the diesel fuel gauge, which will show the fuel marker somewhere between full, three-quarters full, half full, one-quarter full and empty. Calculate the exact level of diesel in the tank using the reading on the gauge and the tank’s capacity. For example, if the gauge shows that the diesel tank is one-quarter full and the diesel tank capacity is 30 gallons, multiply 0.25 times 30. The tank is holding approximately 7 1/2 gallons when it is one-quarter full. Select the tank for in which you wish to take a re
