Disclosed is a level regulator for automotive vehicles, including a hydraulically operating level adjusting device located on at least one axle of the automotive vehicle. A fluid separator provided in the level regulator includes a hydraulic cylinder having at least one inlet pressure chamber confined by a hydraulic piston and separated from at least one outlet pressure chamber capable of being connected to the level adjusting device. Pressure is applied to the hydraulic piston by a restoring force acting in opposition to the pressure in the inlet pressure chamber. The inlet pressure chamber, through switch valves is capable of being temporarily connected to a primary hydraulic pressure source such as that for the brake system of the vehicle and, normally, is capable of being connected to a hydraulic fluid return reservoir. The fluid separator includes an input cylindrical housing in which is disposed a first piston portion closing the inlet pressure chamber. Attached to the inlet cylindrical housing is an output cylindrical housing accommodating a second piston portion closing the outlet pressure chamber. The first piston portion applies pressure to the second piston portion through a pushrod.
