I'd guess this probably works great with stationary tanks.
For any tank that moves, unless they have some signal smoothing or stabilization mechanisms built into the unit, the sloshing/stirring of the liquid level in the mobile tank can result in laser detector signal errors, thus, unstable readings.
I searched for user reviews on this laser-based product but didn't find any.
Given the choices available, I would probably go with the ultrasonic-based ones. There are several on Amazon:
1) Ultrasonic Liquid Level (Wireless)

2) Blue Sea Systems 1810 Tank Sender Vessel Systems Monitor with Diesel, Water and Waste
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001TS2KPK/
works with only Blue Sea Display VSM 422
