The present invention provides a probe having a resistance that varies with temperature and is operable to determine the quantity of a fluid, such as hydrogen, in a storage tank, such as a cryogenic storage tank. The probe relies upon differing heat transfer rates for the gaseous and liquid phases of the fluid and a change in resistance due to a change in temperature of the probe to ascertain the quantity of fluid within the storage tank. The probe can be configured to account for the geometry of the storage tank thereby providing a linearized signal indicative of the quantity of fluid in the storage tank.
