Ahhh you guys you spoil all of the fun! I could have spent ages putting all of this together and making it work before I thought of that! Actually since what I need to do is simply go from one fixed state (tank with no water in it) to another (tank with set amount of water in it) do you think I could get away with it... Probably not! Maybe I'll just go back to dead reckoning based upon time and then do some sort of automatic trim....
