hi Nigel, I have 1500 litre tank. On 'proper Estonian winter' (with temperatures below -20 celsius), stove consumes about 1cm per day (which is about 10 litres). So - 1mm of oil level in tank corresponds to 1 litre. What is the maximum precision you can squeeze out from ultrasonic ping measurement? Should be well under 1mm?!
