An in-tank illumination system (700) is disclosed. The in-tank illumination system (700) comprises a translucent tank (202, 204, 206, 208), one or more sensors (340, 640, 730, 732, 734, 736, 738); the translucent tank (202, 204, 206, 208) has an interior configured to hold material, and the one or more sensors (340, 640, 730, 732, 734, 736, 738) are configured to monitor conditions of the translucent tank (202, 204, 206, 208) and the material, the in-tank illumination system (700) further comprises an illumination source (720) configured to illuminate the interior of the translucent tank (202, 204, 206, 208) such that the tank illumination is visible outside of the translucent tank (202, 204, 206, 208), a controller (710) configured to monitor sensor readings of the one or more sensors (340, 640, 730, 732, 734, 736, 738), to determine tank conditions based on the sensor readings, and to send control signals to the illumination source (720). The controller (710) determines occurrence of a tank illumination condition based on the readings of the one or more sensors (340, 640, 730, 732, 734, 736, 738), and the controller (710) sends control signals to the illumination source (720) to illuminate the tank (202, 204, 206, 208) to indicate the tank illumination condition. Further, a vehicle (110) and cart (100) combination and an in-tank illumination method is disclosed.
