Andrew,
What to do about a fuel gauge has been a bone of contention for me. I would
very much appreciate your sharing how you made your device.
Only thing is, can your set-up be accomplished AFTER the fuel tank and
module are installed?
Thanks
Kingsley in Oz.

The fuel tank is translucent. One can clearly see the fuel level by
eye. So, it occurred to me why not build a fuel level sensor that
attaches to the outside of the tank? I recently built such a unit with
LED illuminators and detectors, and it works like a charm. It even
shows the waves when the fuel is sloshing around. Only question is,
how does the translucency of the tank change with time? If it becomes
totally opaque in a few years, then this won't work. I can post
further details of the device if anyone is interested.
