Fuel Level Sensors

Are You In Need of High Quality, Low Cost Fuel Level Sensors?

Rochester Sensor’s high quality Fuel Level Float Style Sensors provide consistent reliable signals measuring the diesel fuel level in a tank. These sensors are made with durable solid Buna Floats or optional Stainless Steel Floats that slide on a brass or stainless steel stem. As the float moves over the switch, its built in magnetic field activates the reliable, internal switch. The fuel level sensors are typically mounted from the top of the tank and can be built with quick connect cam and groove fittings affording quick and easy access to the sensor. High quality cable or Teflon wire makes for reliable connections to the control panel. Available Nema 4X rated housings are the best choice for outdoor applications.

Benefits of Using Rochester Sensors Fuel Level Sensors

Rochester Sensors fuel level sensors are designed to last several hundred million cycles when the load switching and the operating environment is optimized. The fuel level switches are highly reliable and are designed to a 1/8” tolerance and 1/16” repeatable accuracy. Our special low profile Buna float option allows for multiple levels to be positioned near each other on the same sensor for tight switch points in both shallow or deep fuel tanks. The affordable, all stainless-steel design is an excellent option for Bio Diesel fuels or DEF applications. Our UL recognition gives you peace of mind. Custom fuel level sensors can be built to meet your exact specifications.

Typical Applications

Diesel fuel tanks that power backup electric generators are a very common application for Rochester Sensors fuel level sensors. These sensors have been installed in backup generators from locations in hurricane vulnerable tropical areas to remote Alaska mountain villages and everywhere in between. Our sensors can be found in diesel fuel tanks, gasoline tanks, DEF applications and other tanks measuring a variety of different liquids. Fuel Level Sensors are used for high level and redundant high level signals to alert the operator that the fuel tank is full, eliminating spills from over filling the tanks. Process level switch points such as ¾, ½ and ¼ full provide back up for continuous level tank sensing and Low and Critical Low provide signals to insure the generator does not run out of fuel.
