I r 0 Take control of your fuel monitoring operations with the GTM electronic monitoring system from Tidel. This ul- tra -sensitive system eliminates unex- plained fuel loss without guess work. The stick vs. the probe. Trying to control your fuel inventory with a stick is like trying to take your temperature with the back of your hand ... crude and inaccurate. With a stick, you can never be sure that the reading represents the actual inventory. Your bottom-line net profits can be dramatically affected by the result of a Simple mistake such as dipping the stick into the tank at an angle, or a tank that isn't level, water in the tank, inaccurate deliveries by your supplier and even pilferage. The list goes on. The concept of manual inventory con- trol with a stick has been successfully challenged by new technologies devel- oped in response to industry demand. By installing a GTM system from Tidel, you can simultaneously monitor up to eight tanks with an accuracy to within III Oth of an inch. This high level of accuracy combined with a repeatability factor of 99.5% and a resolution of .004 'nches, clearly makes Tidel's GTM the industry's best choice on :w } °'4 the market today. Precise measurements are continually available for: Product height (tank level) Product temperature Gross gallonage Net gallonage Delivery verification (gross and net volume readings) Pre -programmable alarm conditions: Water levels Low and high product levels Leak detection (by daily moni- toring and trend analysis) Microprocessor technology in a centrally located console is on-line to constantly monitor tank activity, sound pre-programmed alarms andprint requested data at the touch of a button. Compare accuracy. Compare features. Compare price. You'll choose the GTM system from Tidel. By the book. Recent EPA involvement in leaking un- derground storage tank regulations and the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments Act have provided formidable motivation for change in the way underground storage tanks are managed. And, the future could bring more restric- tions and more re- quirements, especially in the areas of accu- rate record keeping and leak detection monitoring. Heavy fines, damaging publicity, work- man's compensation claims and high clean-up costs resulting in lost profits have forced many underground tank operators to invest in electronic tank monitoring. It has become a necessary part of doing business today. Of course, all monitoring systems are not the same. There are different tech- nologies. Different features. And dif- ferent costs. Take a closer look. At first glance, most electronic tank monitoring systems appear to offer about the same thing: a way to accu- rately monitor underground tanks. Pretty simple. Right? Wrong. The de- cision to invest in an electronic moni- toring system should include a thor- ough review of the advantages and dis- advantages of the available systems. All systems have three basic compo- nents: a probe, console and com- munications unit. The key difference between systems is in the probe tech- nology. Currently, there are three major variations of technologies: float, capacitive and ultrasonic systems. Float systems perform pretty much as cote �6 tom" o.
