How to monitor 8 resistive tanks?

I have 8 tanks on my boat which are all resistive. The CerboGX can take 4. How can I add 4 more? Is there a way to convert a resistive sensor to be voltage or current based so the Tank 140 will support it?

@crholliday , I think you should purchase a CerboGX tank level 140 module which can handle Voltage based or 20mA. current loop sensors. It connects to the USB port on the CerboGX.

Unfortunately, I don't think the 140 handles resistive sensors.

Sorry… I should have read the question more carefully….. Victron do produce a VE.Can resistive tank adapter but they are expensive. You can have up to 16 of these on the one network. Quite expensive though.
