FUEL GAUGE SCOPE, PURPOSE AND OPERATION
PRINCIPLE
Purpose
The fuel gauge
BI FLSensor
(hereinafter referred to as the FG,
gauge) is designed for continuous fuel level measurement in stationary
tanks or tanks of moving objects, and transfer the information to the GPS
monitoring system.
Operation principle
BI FLSensor
operates on the capacitive principle, based on the
property of a capacitor to change its capacity according to the change of
the fuel composition and level in the measuring probe of the gauge.
