Measure Oil Level (or any liquid) and alert - hardware + firmware/code

@ventz, This is a neat project.
I copied/pasted the chart from the Tank Size WebPage that @thefloyd linked to Here, straight into MS Excel and created a trendline for each tank.

You could use a #Define Statement (or similar) at the beginning of the Code for the User to Select their Tank Size, and calculate the gallons directly in the Loop.

y = Gallons ,  x = Inches
Below are the Equations from Excel:
TANK :  EQUATION
275H :  y = 10.909x - 10.023
275V :  y = 6.8046x - 13.626
500  :  y = -0.005x3 + 0.3626x2 + 4.9946x - 4.7142
550  :  y = -0.0056x3 + 0.3993x2 + 5.2575x - 4.2845
1000 :  y = -0.0099x3 + 0.7115x2 + 9.8384x - 8.7038

Decent fits for a quick stab…
