I did a search on tank gauge and on snake river, but did not find anything. Has anyone seen these guages? What are your opinions of them? I was looking at the $104.xx system with 5 led's for 4 tanks. Any opinions or problems with measuring by 1/4's? Thanks for the info.

Snake River
Try www.snakeriver.org Hunter is (was?) putting the snake river tank monitors in the new hunters (at least my H33). Mine does not use led's. Michael

Try the link below. I've got them and like them - just how accurate do you need? 1/4's work well on my two water tanks and one waste tank. The waste tank took a little bit of effort to calibrate - it's an odd shape, but the system provides for calibration pretty easily. The installation can be real easy - you just need to be able to apply two adhesive backed foil strips to the sides of your tanks. Note that this foil-strip sensor doesn't work on aluminum/metal tanks, nor on fuel tanks. I believe they do offer a special sensor type for fuel tanks. Good Luck! Tim Brogan April IV C350 #68 Seattle

sensatank
Has anyone tried the Sensatank 100 product? They use plug and play type connectors. You just peel the backing off the sensors and stick them to the non-metal tanks. No calibration to do like Snake River. I like the looks of them, but can't find anyone who has used them yet. Here is their link.

You can use instrument wire for the Snake River
gauges. It's 20 AWG, 2 conductor with a drain wire. WM part # 198754. I called Snake River and they said it is fine. I found it makes for an easier and neater installation. Patrick, were you able to get the fuel tank out through the starboard seat/hatch? I've been eyeing that opening and wondering...... Cheers, Bob s/v X SAIL R 8

No, comes out from under sink. Need to remove sink and back wall. Tank will slide out over hot water heater.

Thanks, Patrick......
I hadn't gotten to the point of measuring, but you saved me some headscratching. Cheers, Bob s/v X SAIL R 8
