I think mine are about 1-2 gals.

If you have the current princeton converters, they have an led that flashes when the converter thinks it's seeing a change. So I think you can start with empty tanks and add fuel til you see the flash and call that empty.

Alternatively, program your converter so empty is empty and 5 gallons is full. then empty the tanks and add gas until you get some reading. set your new empty to whatever number of gallons that takes and now do the real programming.

Dennis,

My Legacy tanks hold exactly 33 gals each. I put a measured gallon in each side and calibrated that to read empty. Then I added increments of measured 4 gallons to each tank and calibrated those increments to be one eighth increases. So a full tank reads 32 gal, a half tank reads 16 gal, etc. I actually have one gal more than the reading at each indication. So far this calibration seems to be holding very well. If I use 8 gal, it takes 8 gal to fill it back up.

However, I don’t usually fill the tanks because the vent tube will leak it overboard if it is too full. Three quarters full is enough to exceed my bladder capacity! :>)

Subject: [LML] Fuel probe calibration

I am trying to calibrate the fuel probes on my IV and trying to determine when I should see an indication on the fuel probes. Can other IV builders tell me how many gallons they had in the tank before they saw a increase in output from the fuel probe. I have the EI P300C probes.
