Detecting liquid levels in confined spaces in machines and facilities can pose problems. For these types of applications, Baumer developed its CFDK 25 capacitive sensor. The 52.4 x 25-mm flat housing design has a height of only 6 mm and has an available mounting frame. In addition to attachment with two screws, the frame allows installation with cable ties, a Velcro fastener or glue.
The capacitive sensor has four fixed nominal sensing distances from 2 to 15 mm offered in a chemical resistance housing made of Polyamid 12 plastic.

Dear Sir,
Do you have a Sensor that can be secured on the outside of a Plastic Non See Through Fuel Container – which is around 2mm in thickness, and which you can just sort of see where the fuel level is situated at. I am guessing that a capacitive Unit will be better for this job? It has to be competitively priced, and if it is, I will have a high demand for these items in the aftermarket modification of a mode of transport unit that presently has no sensor fitted to the Header Tank. Of course it has to run on 12v DC, and use a small current. The output will be used to drive directly either a 12v Buzzer or a LED Warning Light or possible both…
am situated in Australia – NSW, so if you a Distributor here, I would need to know the local pricing and your rec Model that will reliably do this job
Cheers
Graham
How much for the sensor? and its possible sense diesel?
Thank you!
I would suggest contacting the manufacturer for this information.
Good sensor, but it is useless to measure level precisely. This sensors http://fuel-sensor.com/en/ can provide level of any liquid (fuel, etc) with accuracy 99.9% (error less than 0.1%).
