-==Overview==
-Tube trailers are used by the packaged gas industry to transport large quantities of high pressure gases. The TrackAbout Tube Trailer Volume Calculation Module is used to determine the gas volume inside of a tube trailer. Without this module, the volume is typically determined either by using paper charts or by a desktop computer application. This module moves these calculations into the hands of the mobile worker and stores the calculated volumes in the history of the tube trailer.

-*Report on amount of gas pumped into tube trailers. This calculation determines the amount of gas added to each trailer in each Fill action. To do this it takes each Fill action's final volume and subracts out the previous Set Volume action that set the volume of the trailer when it was returned from the last customer.
+*Report on amount of gas pumped into tube trailers. This calculation determines the amount of gas added to each trailer in each Fill action. To do this it takes each Fill action's final volume and subracts out the Empty Asset Volume. The "Empty Asset Volume" is really the most recent previous volume calculation. It comes from either a Set Volume action that sets the volume of the trailer when it was returned from the last customer, or from the Full Volume calculation of a previous Fill.
 ::'''Volume filled''' = ('''Volume recorded after filling''')&nbsp; minus ('''lowest volume set on this trailer up to and including the last fill action''')<br>
