1. EcoOil Monitor calculates and displays usage information including the average amount of litres used per day per week over the last 30 days and over the last 365 days Days to Empty DTE As the Tankalert EcoOil Transmitter continuously measures and transmits the oil level the Tankalert EcoOil Monitor retains this information allowing it to learn historical heating system usage patterns and so predict the Days to Empty for your home With this information you can ensure that you order your oil at the correct time not too soon and more importantly not too late Costs By entering the cost you pay for your oil during the setup process of your Tankalert EcoOil Monitor and subsequently when you take deliveries of oil if the price has changed the Tankalert EcoOil can present your oil usage in terms of its costs i e average cost per day and per week and the cost for the usage over the last 30 days and 365 days Environment Similarly the Tankalert EcoOil Monitor can display your oil usage in terms of the associated produc tion of COz emissions as the equivalent quantity of KgCOz emitted per day per week the last 30 days and 365 days The Tankalert EcoOil Transmitter fits into the standard 32mm aperture found on most modern oil storage tanks and is suitable for use with almost any plastic or metal tank up to 3m tall including Bunded and Single Skin Oil tanks If your tank is a bunded tank ensure that you mount the Tankal2.
