TANK LEVEL SENSING

DRIVE June 25, 2025
Source
A method of monitoring a level of a liquid in a tank of a moveable vehicle includes sensing an orientation of the moveable vehicle relative to a horizontal plane with a vehicle orientation sensor, determining if the orientation of the moveable vehicle is less than an allowable orientation threshold or if the orientation of the moveable vehicle is equal to or greater than the allowable orientation threshold, measuring a level of the liquid in the tank of the moveable vehicle with a liquid level sensor when the orientation of the moveable vehicle is less than the allowable orientation threshold, defining a sensed fluid level value with the controller, and saving the sensed fluid level value in a memory of the controller. The sensed fluid level value is based on the measured level of the liquid when the orientation of the moveable vehicle is less than the allowable orientation threshold.
