I have had some success with a capacitive probe and a 5V gauge - Speedy
cables in Wales built me one with an original looking face.
Not a 5min project - mainiy because our senders are 6 hole mounting and
modern ones use 5 hole sae centers.
Also a fundamental problem is the horizontal suitcase shape of AH tanks and
only 5in range form E to F.

Alan,

I am not really sure, but I am certainly going to look into it further,
along with Roger Grace's suggestion. Thanks for  posting the link.

Regards,

Peter
