ABSTRACT:
A fuel level detection device detects the level of fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel level detection device comprises a body including at least one mounting station and a fuel level detection unit. The fuel level detection unit includes a base and a float mounted relative to the base so as to have varying position relative to the base depending on the level of fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel level detection unit further contains a link coupling the float to the base and a sensor producing a signal indicative of the position of the float within the fuel tank. The fuel level detection unit is capable of being disposed at more than one position on the body.
