ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for dynamically measuring a volume of fuel in a fuel tank of unknown geometry includes a fuel level sensor mounted on the fuel tank, a fuel meter for measuring a volume of fuel being consumed, and a rewritable look-up table storing correspondence between volumes of fuel and levels of fuel in the fuel tank. The loop-up table is rewritten as the oil in the tank is consumed. A system website is used for remotely monitoring the fuel tank of a building.
