ABSTRACT:
A liquid level monitoring system for underground storage tanks includes a submersible monitoring pipe having telescoping sections that are spring biased to an extended position enabling the pipe to be self-mounted within the tank between its upper and lower walls adjacent to and offset axially from a selected axis opening in the tank, such as the discharge opening which normally accommodates the pump for the tank. The pipe houses an electronic level sensor which is coupled to an above ground control system via conductor wires. A tank adapter is secured to the tank opening and provided with a passage through which the conductor wires extend for routing out of the tank without interfering with the clearance normally provided for insertion and removal of the pump.
