i <br /> HOW TO INSTALL THE OPW 6'I -SO <br /> IN VARIOUS SIZE TANKS Measuring <br /> Stick <br /> The shut off point is determined by the length of <br /> the 6150 uppertube. Following the standard <br /> instructions for the OPW 61 -80 will provide for <br /> initial shutoff at 95% of capacity in most 8' e <br /> diameter underground storage tanks.
