| 摘要 | A method and apparatus for monitoring an interior of a fuel tank. Information about a fuel level and moisture in the interior of the fuel tank of a platform is generated using a fuel sensor unit in the interior of the fuel tank. The fuel sensor unit comprises a sensor configured to be located in the interior of the fuel tank and generate information about the fuel level in the fuel tank and the moisture in the fuel tank and a wireless unit electrically connected to the sensor. The wireless unit is configured to receive the information from the sensor and transmit the information using wireless signals. A number of actions is identified based on the information about the interior of the fuel tank. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. An apparatus comprising: a sensor configured to be located in an interior of a fuel tank and generate information about a fuel level in the interior of the fuel tank and about moisture in the fuel tank, the sensor being a single capacitive probe comprising a first tube and a second tube, wherein the first tube is located inside of the second tube, the first tube configured to conduct an electrical signal that determines whether the moisture is present in the fuel tank based upon whether the second tube receives the electrical signal; and a wireless unit electrically connected to the sensor, wherein the wireless unit is configured to receive the information from the sensor and transmit the information using wireless signals. | ||
