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.
