Hydrostatic Monitoring for Demanding Tank Environments
FoxPressure (Gen 4) is a hydrostatic pressure-based level sensor for deep, narrow, or geometrically constrained tank installations. It is used where radar-based sensing cannot deliver stable, reliable readings — enabling accurate level data in tanks that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to monitor.
It integrates into FoxPortal to support consumption-based forecasting, refill planning, and portfolio-wide visibility.

Where FoxPressure Gen 4 Fits
FoxPressure Gen 4 is the right choice when tank geometry or installation conditions prevent reliable radar measurement.
- T-piece installations — radar produces erratic or incorrect readings in this configuration
- Deep or narrow tanks where radar line-of-sight is not achievable
- Tanks with internal cross-bracing, edges, or obstructions
- Underground fuel storage with constrained or angled access
- Heating oil tanks with complex internal geometry
- Industrial fluid storage where mounting constraints prevent radar use
Industry applications: Heating Oil · Diesel · Lubricants
When to Use a Different Sensor
FoxPressure Gen 4 is not the default sensing option. Consider an alternative when:
- Radar measurement is stable and feasible for the tank type (→ use FoxRadar Gen 4)
- No suitable threaded opening exists for probe insertion
- Installation constraints favour fully contactless measurement
- The environment requires ATEX/IECEx certified hardware (→ use Pressure EX)
Role Within the FoxInsights System
- Accurate level data from complex and constrained tank installations
- Data transmission to FoxPortal for consumption analysis
- Full inclusion of difficult tanks in consumption-based forecasting
- Reliable planning input across all tank types — not just standard ones
Execution remains with your operations team.
