Computank can be installed with or without the bezel depending on your preference or accessibility to the back of the panel. Normal installation is to use the four screws molded in the bezel to secure the Computank to the dash from the rear. If you have limited access to the back, then you can use self-tapping screws to mount the Computank from the front, remove the screws from the bezel and use adhesive or double-sided tape to hold the bezel in place.
Sender output : CompuTank is designed for senders with 0/4V output. We make these by adjusting our senders labeled "Operating Range: 0/5V" for 4 volts at Full. If use of a non-0/4V output is unavoidable, contact us for an adapter.
Note the holes are not symmetrical; rotate until the holes line up, then tighten down the mounting screws. It is important that the “Breather Hole” at the top of a fuel probe’s tubing be open, to allow the fuel to rise and fall inside the probe.

(T2) (T3) CAUTION-WIRING CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE WITH POWER TURNED OFF Note 1: the CompuTank display draws approx 0.2A, and the senders 0.01A each. They can share a fuse or breaker with other instruments if desired. Note 2: The CompuTank 24V Adapter drops approx 13VDC across itself, as opposed to regulating to a specific voltage.

TIMER: Measures consumption since timer was started or restarted. This can be used to measure consumption between intermediate points on a trip. TOTALIZER: Measures consumption since last time totalizer was reset or power to the Computank was turned on. This is normally used to measure consumption for the entire trip.
RUN = 14.1V --this is the voltage now, generally with the alternator running and charging your battery. If this voltage drops below ALARMS AND WARNINGS A display of "*BAD* wtr?" for a fuel tank indicates that the CompuTank probe in that tank is producing an out-of-range FWD K. FUEL voltage. This can be an indication that there is water at the *BAD* wtr? bottom of the tank.
