ABSTRACT:
A system and method for providing for a remote readout of liquid levels in an oil tank, which system includes an oil tank having an air vent and containing liquid amounts whose levels are to be determined; a single bubble tube inserted in the oil tank, with one end adjacent the bottom surface of the oil tank; an integral source of compressed air for supply to the single bubble tube; a pressure sensor and a timer actuated on demand or periodically at a fixed time, to actuate the integral air compressor for a short defined time period, and immediately thereafter to actuate the pressure sensor, to sense the amount or level of the oil in the oil tank; manual or telephone actuation of the timer, when determination of the amount or level of the oil in the oil tank is desired; and a computer-memory and display means at a remote location, to receive and display to the user the information on the amount or level of oil in the oil tank.
