Abstract

A method and an assembly for determining a volume of a tank. A measuring tape having multiple magnets is attached to a first location of the tank. A first circumference of the tank at the first location of the tank is measured. A value of the first circumference is recorded. Multiple wheels coupled to the measuring tape are rotated. Responsive to rotating the wheels, the measuring tape is moved from the first location to a second location of the tank. A second circumference of the tank at the second location is measured. A value of the second circumference is recorded. Based on the value of the first circumference and the value of the second circumference, the volume of the tank is calculated.
