A sensor array (120) measures at least one property of the tank. A pulse width modulation (PWM) controller (110) outputs a first PWM timing signal and a second PWM timing signal to the Hbridge. The PWM controller (110) controls a dead-time between the first PWM timing signal and the second PWM timing signal based on the at least one property measured by the sensor array (120). 8595093 11/5 C',f C0 1 0(. + 0I0 CT T0 L _ _ _ __ _ _ _
