Colleen, The very first page of the packet is the artistic rendering of the CAPSCAN. Hard to tell from it if the pole-like structure is metal or PVC. The CAPSCAN is installed (inserted) at one end of the tank. Not having read the packet yet, you'll have to excuse this description of mine - the monitoring part is at the end of the "pole" inside the tank (so it's at the bottom of the whole assembly). At the top of the assembly is a cylindrical part that looks, from the drawing, to have its top just above ground surface level. The electronic data is transmitted from here. The electronic parts - in fact, all of it - looks to be encased. It may be that the pole extends further down into the tanks than the picture suggests. It would have to, really, for this monitoring part to "float" down inside this "pole" to get readings when the tank levels are low. No measurements on the drawing, as it's more a graphical representation than a blueprint representation. The whole thing doesn't look bulky at all. Looks like it could be just slipped out, the tank filled, and then re-inserted.

Don't remember if this has been posted before, but it caught my eye. 42 prototypes were tested in stations in Long Island, NY, North Palm Beach, FL and Kirkland, WA. (Hmm, says Kirkland, WA is the regional headquarters for Texaco) Testing spanned 3 years in the field in WA and results were submitted to the Statistics Dept. of the Univ. of Washington at Seattle. They state the results certified that the CAPSCAN maintained readings to an accuracy level of 1/100th of an inch, consistently. This exceeds the EPA minimum of 1/8th of an inch.
