    pumping a fluid from the tank;

    sensing a variable associated with the fluid;

    determining a time of day that the fluid is being pumped;

    storing on an electrical data storage device a first digital value representative of the well site identifier, a second digital value representative of the variable associated with the fluid, and a third digital value representative of the time of day that the fluid was being pumped, thereby creating a stored data record; and

    communicating the stored data record to a remote location relative to the well site.
