Common Concerns Answered
Why is the TLM150 more expensive than basic float senders?
The TLM150 utilizes advanced ultrasonic technology for superior accuracy and the unique ability to calibrate for irregular tank shapes, offering a significantly more reliable and versatile solution compared to simpler float-type senders.
Can I see the fuel level data without an NMEA 2000 network?
No, the TLM150 transmits data exclusively via the NMEA 2000 network. To view fuel level readings, you will require a compatible NMEA 2000 display or multi-function display (MFD) connected to the network.
Will this work for my diesel tank?
The Maretron TLM150 is specifically designed and calibrated for gasoline tanks only; it is not suitable for diesel fuel monitoring.
