In Rotarycraft, is there a way to read an engine's fuel level with Computercraft?

I know Rotarycraft has Computercraft compatibility built in now, but I haven't found a way to read the amount of fuel in an engine with it. I'd like to be able to read the amount of fuel in my gas turbine so that I can display it on a status monitor and maybe automatically control fuel production and routing, but I can't figure out what to call to do it, and the Rotarycraft manual's section on Computercraft compatibility wasn't much help. The closest I was able to get was being able to read the type of liquid in the tank (Jet Fuel, of course, since I was reading a gas turbine), but I can't figure out how to tell how much is in it.

Anyone know how to read the amount of fluid in Rotarycraft tanks with CC?
 
For the record, I figured it out. In case anyone else wants to know:

a = peripheral.wrap("<SIDE>")
b, c = a.readTank(1)

then B will contain the type of fuel, and C will contain the amount of fuel in millibuckets.

If you understand java, this can be of use:
