Question:
Can you get better resolution by installing the sensor strip diagonally instead of cutting it shorter?

Hey Scott,
This hasn't be tested yet with the SeeLeveL Sensor for RV Holding Tank Monitor # SE27VR but it would likely cause more issues because depending on the angle it's placed it could potentially have water hitting the bottom of the sensor above it giving you a false reading when there's really not enough water to touch that sensor if the strip was straight up. I can only recommend following the manufacturer's instructions and placing the strip vertically on the tanks and cutting off any excess.
