The Tank Tender works on compressed air and so the composition of the
tank has no bearing on it at all.

Yes - Bob said we paid $600 for ours and it had only 4 sensors -
that's why we didn't also get the holding tank included. He says it
is probably $800 by now.
We use it a lot though. We did it because the fuel tanks are under
the helm seat and we have to take that apart to stick the tank, and
the water tanks are down in the engine room.
You do have to calibrate the gauges yourself.
