Refer to manual 000-2142, Fuel Management System
Programming guide and 000-2150 Fuel Management
System Installation guide for information about setting up
the probe with the tank gauge.
For Colibri Tank Gauge Consoles, refer to manual
000-2153, Colibri Automatic tank Gauge Installation Guide,
and 000-2155, Colibri Set-Up and Operation Guide. For

Tank Tilt / Offset Calculations
If the data to calculate tank tilt is not known, or if the tank is
not seriously tilted, then use +/– offsets to adjust the probe
readings to match the stick readings at fill.
Figure 10 shows the tank tilt formula to use when the fill
tube and probe are on opposite sides of the tank center-
line. Figure 11 shows the formula to use when the fill tube
and probe are on the same side of the tank center-line.
