Tank Setup

Tank Setup displays all the Tanks at your store's site. These are the Tanks that Fuel Products will be inventoried and sold from. Tanks must be setup before the Fuel Products and the Dispensers can be setup.
If you will be recording stick readings, you can set up Tank Charts so you can put inches into the system and the system will convert them to gallons.  Tank Charts are optional.
 
If you think you need to make changes in these screens but are not sure how to proceed, please contact Support.
