Plain-English explainers on tank monitoring, automatic tank gauge connectivity, and UST compliance — written for operators, useful whether or not you use TankActive.
Choose the question closest to your current compliance, connectivity, delivery, or alarm-setting decision.
What EPA and state rules actually require for leak detection, recordkeeping, and inspections — and which records you must be able to produce.
VPN, cellular, or direct network connection: how each works, what your location needs, and how the right method gets confirmed before activation.
How continuous statistical leak detection works, why results can show "pending," and how to document completed tests for your inspector.
Low-product, high-water, and offline thresholds that catch meaningful conditions without training your team to dismiss notifications.
Using gauge readings to compare deliveries with bills of lading, investigate differences, and keep an auditable record.
From compatibility review to first reading: the setup steps, what your team provides, and why supported installs typically take under two hours.
An automatic tank gauge (ATG) measures fuel level, water, and temperature inside a storage tank and reports alarms for conditions such as leaks, overfills, and equipment faults. Common systems include Omntec Proteus, Veeder-Root, and Franklin Fueling. It is the source equipment for TankActive's supported monitoring data.
Continuous statistical leak detection (CSLD) analyzes qualifying automatic tank gauge data while a tank remains in service. A result can support an approved release-detection method when the equipment, test, records, and jurisdictional requirements align; a pending result is not a pass.
Underground storage tank rules, including EPA 40 CFR Part 280 and implementing-agency requirements, address release detection, release prevention, and recordkeeping. Exact duties vary by jurisdiction, tank system, and approved method, so operators must confirm the rules that apply to each location.
TankActive doesn't operate a public forum today — if one launches, it will be announced here. In the meantime, the fastest path to an answer is the help center or a direct line to support.
