SWIFT COMMAND WATER/WASTE TANK LEVELS

[Smudger55]

I have posted question here as readings may be similar for other makes. Refer attached photo. For a simpleton like me what's difference between white and blue markings? I tend work with blue but doesn't see accurate enough as eg: waste tank isn't as full as blue marking suggests but worried if I don't I will overfill

They both say they are 50% full. I assume three quarters of the circle would be filled if it was at 75%? The blue/white colours mean nothing, it's just stylised. The sensors can probably only pick up at 25% intervals... and even then they are normally really inaccurate.

If I overfill with fresh, it just starts gushing out of an overflow under the van. I wouldn't like to find out what happens if I overfill with grey though...

These gauges are very inaccurate. As said before I fill up with fresh til it overflows and grey tap is always left on with a bucket underneath.

None of the gauges in any of our motorhomes have been accurate, our current one says the waste is full when it's empty half the time! As Guigsy says, the colours are stylised. If it was me doing it (I've done similar dials for applications I've written) I'd make the full dark blue to indicate a lot of water and as it became empty, lighter as in your dials.

Exactly the same thing it overflows under the van.

Better to go with instinct. You will probably be more accurate.

Thanks Guisgy, the waste sets of an alarm if full.
