NMEA2000 tank sensor CX5001 not shown

I have a CX5001 that monitor tanks (fuel, water, black water) on my boat. The data are shown on my NMEA Network and show MFD “AXIOM”, and I can see them in all my devices that understand PGN 127505.

But my VenusOS RPI doesn’t show these data, although the this
Device is listed in NMEA Device list.
And SIGNAL K see data from this sensor : tanks.fuel.0.currentLevel n2k-on-vecan-socket.48 (127505)
I also managed to display the bears via signal k in cerbo thanks to that :slight_smile: GitHub - pdjr-archive/venus-signalk-tank-service: Inject Signal K tank data into Venus OS.
But I would prefer without signal K.

I saw in Victron documentation that it should work. Am I wrong ?

I could be wrong, but maybe Victron is listening for another address than 48 to be the tank level sensor?

I can’t change the address. The only thing I can do is ask the creators to add this sensor. Running new wires through the boat is a nightmare.

I think you may be right that address 48 would have to be added

I am having the same problem with a Raymarine system that is connected to Ekrano GX through NMEA 2000. NMEA has data for tanks coming from EmpirBus, and I can see those values on Signal K running on the Ekrano. However they do not show up on the native GUI for Ekrano. I am using v3.52.

Any suggestions?

@mpvader any thoughts? Happy to collect and share additional debugging information.
