Tank Calibration

VesselView offers two tank calibration methods. For linear shaped fuel tanks, choose "METHOD 1: DEFAULT." Using method
1, VesselView assumes the tank is uniformly shaped and that each quarter of the tank holds a quarter of its total capacity. For
irregularly shaped fuel tanks, choose "METHOD 2: MANUAL." You will be required to fill the tank for the manual method.
