1. A method for accommodating indirect ascertainment of fill-characteristics of fluid tanks on marine vessels, the method comprising the steps of:

  • providing an experientially-based mapping of volume characteristics of a fluid tank positioned on a marine vessel correlated with respect to measurable fluid surface positions within the fluid tank; and

    outputting fluid fill condition information for operator use based on quantification of a parameter other than sensed fluid level in the fluid tank based on a function of that other parameter being compared to the experientially-based mapping of volume.
