Faulty calibration, defective float magnets, dirty probe shafts, invalid alarms, fuel temperature and sales during the delivery can all impact the Veeder-Root readings making it impossible for them to be 100% accurate and equal the net gallons on a delivery ticket. How can you know for sure?

DAILY RECONCILIATION OF FUEL

INVENTORY WILL HELP!

By tracking your daily accrues, you will know immediately if there is a problem. The Golden Rule is to have your "end of day" be at the same time as your Veeder-Root reading. So, if your "end of day" is at closing, then you need a "Veeder- Root" print out at the same time.

Here's an example of a daily reconciliation. If you are not showing a loss of inventory to the shortage reported by the tank monitor, then the cause is likely the Veeder-Root and not a shortage in your delivery.  

OPEN - is your physical or Veeder Root reading from the close of the previous day.

PURCHASED - net gallons on the "Bill of Lading"

SALES - gallons of gas sold for that day.

BOOK - open + purchases - sales = book.

PHYSICAL - Veeder-Root tape.

OVER/ SHORT - the difference between the book and physical.

ACCUMULATIVE - the running total for the month.

Remember : Never let anyone tear off the Veeder-Root tape during a 24 hour period, if that happens you will lose all the figures for that day.
