Accurate way to measure what's in an oil tank

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Ryan  
Right,  you've got your tank of oil,  and you need to measure what's in it accurately.  In a large enough tank even a small margin of error can translate into being quite a few liters off.  The common method is to use a dib tape but in a large tank this usually isn't accurate enough.  You could install some measuring equipment but that is going to be costly.  As usual simplicity rules and this solution may be what you're looking for.
