Storage Tank reads 25K.

Electric Pole (and everything else including decision combinator) reads 24K.

The combinator circuit for converting excess Light Oil into petrol doesn't work as a result. Chemical plant for converting Heavy Oil to Light Oil shows "Fluid production overload" so the Storage Tank of Light Oil should be full. There is nothing else using Light Oil to my knowledge apart from conversion to petrol.
Log file and save file where I'm standing near to the Storage Tank, Electric Pole, and combinator circuits attached.
PS: Sorry if I have made a mistake.

Signals are the integer part of the decimal number, a tank will take forever to fill completely to 25k, so your setup will not work this way. The number on the right is rounded I think.

Really? That’s unintuitive and misleading.
Either way, the 2 readings should not be different. If they round up for the storage tank than they should round up for the circuit network too - that or round down both.
Never expected Zeno’s paradox ...

Wow. It’s been over 3 years. Guess they won’t be fixing it. They should be consistent with their rounding for display else players can’t make the right call. If it shows on the storage tank as 25K, the network should read 25K too and react accordingly.

So that's the thread we have to thank for not being able to tell if a tank is empty in circuit network.
I prefer always rounding up:

In my quoted thread I proposed also for rounding up.
It was implemented once but reverted again.
