Truckers that refill stations use physical sticks to measure tanks, there is already a robust analog solution. This is a nothing burger sent by our hawkish US government looking to further villainize Iran.

So under your model, the tankers just drive around, dipping tanks, to see who needs a delivery?

Station staff can also dip the tanks and call for refills as needed. Commonplace.

Fuel is measured as it is sold, so presumably this is the primary system for knowing when they will need a refill.
I would guess the delivery driver dips the tank as a failsafe, because spilling fuel is a Big Deal - whether it's an overflow or perhaps even just filling a tank that is leaking.
(I do agree with GP's point about the administration's need to villainize Iran to maintain whatever support they can for the Epstein war though)

Are you insane? You’re going to have the stoner 18 year old check the gas levels everyday? Sounds like a great way to have fires and explosions.
