Utilizing an Automatic Tank Gage (ATG) has perfectly replaced the manual dip-stick measuring as the preferred stock control answer for retail fuel sites with underground fuel storage tanks. An automatic tank gauge (ATG) can be linked to probes and electric line leak detectors over various tanks to manage a whole fuel site’s inventory. The tank probes precisely measure the amount and temperature of any fuel or water in a tank and report it back to the ATG.

An Automatic Tank Gage (ATG) can perform this test by taking product level and temperature readings almost constantly for a set timeframe to figure out whether a changing product level might be because of a leak. Some ATGs perform Continuous Statistical Leak Detection (CSLD) by taking stock readings throughout the month at whatever when point there is no pumping action. The framework statistically examines the information to figure out whether the tank is tight or leaking.
