Mostly the Centeron system is setup so tank level can be monitored over the internet, but they do have some PC software that will talk to the receiver serially or to link the system into a Veeder-Root wired system.

The interface is Modbus

That's the high tech method.
Low tech: a guy with a long stick and a cell phone.

I purchased this device to avoid any hassle with NYFD since it already had approval.

Its what is used in a typical gas station.
If you don't have to worry about approvals perhaps use one of the other suggestions, Ultrasonic or Druck DP cell dropped into tank.
Hope this helps.
