Assuming you can fill the tank to the same level every time. No easy feat in itself.

True. What I do to get as close to that as possible is to only fill to first click & I always fill at the same time of night so that any variations are minimal in that regard. I'm already at 51.4 on my 5th tank. I wish I could track this for the record on the website but they put my info on the HCH1 and I'm not going to bother with it at this point....sad.
