<p>A pair of solid state pressure sensors are disposed near the bottom of a fuel tank vertically spaced with one a unit distance above the other. A third solid state sensor is disposed in the tank at the highest point under the upper wall. The apparent hydrostatic pressure is computed from the difference in pressure sensed by the highest and lowest sensors. The density is computed from the difference in pressure sensed by the pair of sensors near the tank bottom; and, the difference normalized for the vertical distance therebetween. The liquid level height is then computed from computed density and apparent pressure. The reserve volume of liquid fuel is then found for the computed height from a lookup table of values of liquid height and corresponding liquid volume. <IMAGE></p> |
