An octogenarian friend of mine, in another state, has an above ground

The widow lives alone and simply asked me about how to read the tank

work on kerosene tanks.

Do you have any suggestions for me to research that you have found
work well?

Would a "keep full" agreement with the fuel supplier be an option?
The local farmers coops offer them in Nebraska. My parents would
sign up putting the burden on the supplier to keep track.

One can't off-load the burden of responsibility for something like that
to someone else. Your tank? You're responsible for keeping it filled.
Period.

If it runs dry, you, your pipes, and your chickens all freeze. The
minimum wage clerk at the coop who neglected to send the tanker truck
out or failed to confirm the delivery stays warm and wouldn't know it
happened and wouldn't care if he did.
