Before
Tank Tender, you had to rely on, an old-fashioned dip stick, site glass
or electric float gauge to check the level of your boat's fuel, water
or holding tank. Not anymore.
Tank Tender provides extremely accurate readings for up to ten tanks.
Without electricity. Without leaving the bridge. Without a doubt.
Tank Tender operates on air pressure. Select the tank, then pump a small
amount of air through tubing to the bottom of the tank. When the air pressure
in the tube equals the liquid pressure at the bottom
of the tank, the gauge displays this pressure in inches of liquid.
Tank
Tender's features include:
- It's
convenient. Monitor the levels in all tanks
with just one instrument.
- It's
easy to use. You can select a tank to measure and get an
accurate measurement from the bridge in two or three seconds.
- It's
simple to install. The average 4-tank system takes about
an hour. And there's nothing to wire.
- It's
surprisingly inexpensive. Tank Tender costs much less than
other industrial systems offering similar accuracy and reliability,
and only slightly more than conventional electric gauges.

Looks simple? It is. That's because the Tank Tender was designed
for maximum reliability, accuracy and zero maintenance.
Tank
Tender's components have proven reliability in medical and dental
applications. Only precision valves, pumps and easy-to-install
push-in connections are used.
Tank
Tender gauges are available in scales of 30" or 60"
and are calibrated for inches of water and inches of diesel fuel
(other scales are available by special order).

| As
you can see by the photo, installation is a simple procedure.
All you do
is drill a small hole (5/32" ) in the top of the tank. Then
tap with a 10x32 thread and screw the "O" ring sealed
/ "banjo" fitting onto the tank top. The 1/8" nylon
tubing is specially extruded to extend straight to the bottom
of the tank.
A typical
4-tank installation may read the contents of one fuel, one holding
and two water tanks. There is no chance what so ever of contamination
because the tubing in the tanks carries only air, fluid is never
removed from any tank.
