ABSTRACT:
A tubular single-layer winding coil is installed on the outer periphery of a thin wall portion of a cylindrical container case and a columnar electrode is provided at the center of the inside of the cylindrical container case. A fuel channel is formed between the coil and the electrode so that the permittivity of fuel flowing through the fuel channel is detected from the electrostatic capacity therebetween. Further, variation of the electrostatic capacity due to the temperature characteristics of the fuel is compensated by the temperature characteristics of the permittivity of the thin wall portion of the sensor unit. Furthermore, variation of the electrostatic capacity due to the temperature characteristics of the fuel is compensated by the temperature compensation capacitor which is connected with the single layer winding coil in parallel.
