What is measured during daily inventory monitoring?

Daily inventory monitoring primarily focuses on assessing the amount of fuel in the underground storage tank and detecting any discrepancies that may indicate a leak or theft. Water measurements are critical in this process because the presence of water in tanks can lead to contamination of the fuel. Monitoring for water helps operators determine if there are any issues such as condensation or leaks that allow groundwater to enter the tank. By accurately measuring water levels, operators can take necessary actions to remove water and maintain fuel quality, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and safety protocols. Additionally, it aids in maintaining accurate inventory levels, which is essential for operational efficiency and environmental protection.
