7660 Tactical Fuel Gauge
The 7660 Tactical Fuel Gauge (TFG) is a rugged sensor for measuring pressure and temperature in military and expeditionary collapsible tanks. It provides queried or continuous pressure and temperature measurements of fuel stored in collapsible tanks for accurate and reliable 24/7 inventory management.

Installation
The 7660 TFG can be installed in minutes. First, remove the existing vent pipe and feed the integrated sensor into the collapsible tank until it is resting on the bottom of the tank. Then, fasten down the 7660 TFG vent pipe coupling. Lastly, connect the power/communications cable to the quick disconnect point on the vent pipe.
System Configuration and Operation
Up to four 7660 TFGs’ power and communications can be “daisy chained” together and terminated at the 8240 Tactical Data Unit (TDU). The 8240 TDU polls each connected 7660 TFG in turn for measurement data, performs calculations and provides complete tank inventory information to the TacFuels system computing device.
