This screen concludes Tank Setup.
1
Thermal Coefficient [125] - Touch the Down Arrow
button to the right of the window and enter the diameter
of the tank.
To ensure accurate temperature compensated volume
conversions the product's thermal coefficient of
expansion must be correctly entered. An incorrect value
will adversely affect leak detection testing and
temperature compensated inventory values.
Table 2 lists the U.S. and Metric coefficients for
approved fuels and liquids. Enter the coefficient in U.S.
or Metric units, depending on the units specified in
System Setup (page 8). Be careful to add the correct
number of zeros to the right of the decimal point.
Incorrect entry can cause test failures and other
problems.
2
Tank Tilt [126] - Touch the Down Arrow button to the
right of the window and enter the tank tilt. The allowable
range is -144 to +144 inches (-365.76 to +365.76 cm)
and the default is 0.
Tank Tilt allows you to adjust for a difference between
fuel height at the probe location and fuel height at the
center of the tank caused by a tilt in the tank. You must
enter a minus (-) if the Tank Tilt is a negative value. A
Tank Tilt value is not required if the probe is located in
the center of the tank. If the probe is located in the
center of the tank, the value entered is 000.00 U.S units
or 0000.0 Metric units. If the probe is not in the center
of the tank, calculate the tank's tilt using the directions
in Table 3. Enter the value from Column G in the
worksheet as the Tank Tilt.

Float Size [127] - Touch the Down Arrow button to the
right of the window and from the float sizes presented,
enter the Mag probe float size that you installed on
the tank's probe
4
Stick Offset [128] - Touch the Down Arrow button to
the right of the window and enter a Stick Offset value.
The allowable range is -144 to +144 inches (-365.76
to +365.76 cm) and the default is 0.
Note: To enter a Stick Offset value, the Stick Offset
option must have been enabled (page 33), and you
must have calculated and entered the tank tilt (if
necessary). A Stick Offset can be entered so that the
probe (product) height "appears" to be equal to a stick
gauge reading of the product height - This entry is for
operator convenience only, and as such it has no
bearing on product volume calculations.
To determine the value to enter for Stick Offset, record
the probe height reading and record a stick height
reading from the tank. If the probe's fuel height
reading is lower than the stick reading, enter the
positive difference between the two. If the probe's
reading is higher than the stick reading, enter the
negative difference between the two. For example, if
stick height = 52 and probe height = 48, you enter +4;
if stick height = 52 and probe height = 54, you enter -
2.
