Calibration of the fuel tank is necessary to verify the conformity of the digital code issued by the Omnicomm LLS 4 sensor to the fuel volume in a particular fuel tank. Calibration of the fuel tank is performed by filling up the tank – from empty to full, with a certain filling interval, and recording the Omnicomm LLS sensor readings in the calibration table.
