How much fuel is left in the storage tanks? How much is used each day? Has the fuel level suddenly dropped? If you rely solely on manually climbing into the tanks, checking the gauges, and taking notes, it’s not only time-consuming, but the data is also difficult to access on the fly. For companies with multiple storage tanks, it’s even more challenging to get a clear picture of the status of each tank.
