How Does an Automatic Tank Gauge Work?
 
01/

Tank Probe Measurement

A probe installed inside the storage tank detects the liquid level and other relevant parameters.

02/

Signal Processing

The measured signals are processed by the ATG system to improve measurement reliability and convert sensor information into usable tank data.

03/

Level & Inventory Calculation

The system processes tank level information and can calculate inventory according to the configured tank parameters.

04/

Real-Time Display

Operators can view tank conditions through the local ATG interface.

05/

Alarm Management

When configured thresholds are exceeded, the system can generate alerts for abnormal liquid levels and other monitored conditions.

06/

Data Communication

RS-485 communication allows the tank monitoring system to communicate with external equipment or management systems over distances of up to 1200 m according to the listed specification.

 

 

Automatic Tank Gauge vs. Manual Tank Measurement

 

 

ATG replaces periodic manual checks with continuous, digital tank monitoring – improving inventory visibility, enabling faster response to abnormal conditions, and supporting a more integrated fuel management workflow.

 

Aspect

What Buyers Should Consider When Selecting a Tank Level Gauge

 

 

Choosing the right ATG starts with your tank, not just the specification sheet. We recommend confirming the following points with our team before ordering:

 

Tank Type & Depth:Confirm tank structure and required probe length for the correct model.

 
 

Measurement Range:Check the usable range against your tank dimensions and probe configuration.

 
 

Accuracy :Measurement accuracy and repeatability directly affect the reliability of your inventory data.

 
 

Fuel & Liquid Compatibility:Confirm compatibility with your actual medium, whether gasoline, diesel, methanol, or other listed liquids.

 
 

Explosion Protection:Ensure the explosion-proof configuration and safety barrier match your installation requirements.

 
 

Communication Interface:RS-485 is available, with communication distance per product specifications.

 
 

Number of Tanks:Select a system that handles your required number of underground tanks.

 
 

Existing Fuel Management System:Confirm communication protocol and integration architecture if you already have a management system.

FAQ

 

 

Q:Can I order a tank level gauge for a single fuel station?

A:Yes. Leader Energy can supply tank level gauges for individual stations as well as multi-tank fuel station projects.

Q:Can I buy the probe and controller separately?

A:The configuration depends on the selected ATG model. Contact us with your existing equipment model if you need a replacement probe, controller or complete system.

Q: How accurate is your automatic tank gauge?

A: The ATG models we offer have a measurement accuracy of ±0.5 mm, a repeatability accuracy of ±0.2 mm, and an oil/water level resolution of 0.01 mm. Some models can achieve a static accuracy of ±1 mm under certain measurement conditions. Please confirm the specific model specifications before placing an order - we will provide the relevant data sheet.

Q: How many tanks can the ATG monitor?

A: The Auto Tank Gauge monitors 1–6 storage tanks in real time. We help you select the right configuration based on your station's tank quantity and management requirements.

Q: What is the production lead time?

A: Tank level gauge products can usually be shipped within 15–20 days, depending on order quantity and season. We confirm the exact production schedule before you place the order.

Q: Can you supply other fuel station equipment together with tank level gauges?

A: Yes. Our portfolio includes fuel dispensers, fuel management systems, underground pipelines, mobile fuel stations, and container fuel stations – allowing you to coordinate multiple equipment requirements with one supplier.

Q:What information is needed for a quotation?

A:Provide the tank quantity, tank depth, fuel type, required gauge model, quantity and destination country. This is usually enough for the initial quotation.

Q:Do you accept OEM or customized requirements?

A:Yes. Configuration and product requirements can be discussed for project orders. Confirm the required specifications before production.
