A PRO Subscription is required to utilise VirtualTanks to the fullest capability.
VirtualTank is our first-party alternative to record your tank levels without using a Tank Gauging Device.
When a VirtualTank is created, our systems calculate the volume left in a tank using an algorithm that considers your current fuel transactions and deliveries.
By defining;
- The total capacity of the Tank
- The current volume inside the Tank
- The pump associated with that Tank
You can emulate a tank gauging device without any hardware. The VirtualTank will subtract any dispenses completed by the mapped pump.
Please note that deliveries will not automatically be counted, and you will need to;
- Manually add in the deliveries into the system, OR;
- Install an inflow module to calculate the flow going into the tank.
How to Create a VirtualTank
First, enter your Tanks Module on the left hand side of the website, and select Configure Tanks in the top right.
If you do not see a Tanks module in your web portal, you can add one by following this article.
When prompted, select Add a Virtual Tank.
Complete the setup wizard to match your tank's properties.
When a dispense is detected on the Mapped Pump, the VirtualTanks volume will be subtracted from the dispense amount, so make sure this property has been configured!
Once you have filled in all of the details to the best of your abilites, click Add, and your VirtualTank will be ready to use.
