ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for measuring liquid level in a container, particularly the fuel tank of a motor vehicle, has a plurality of detector stages for sensing or detecting a plurality of liquid level ranges, whereby an indicator stage can be arranged to indicate a first, normal range of measurement, and a second, precise resolution can be obtained of at least a portion of the overall measurement range, without requiring an excessively larger indicator stage. This is accomplished by arranging at least two groups of sensing elements one above the other in the tank and connecting them to indicator elements via change-over circuits such that one range of measurement is made via one group of sensing elements and a second, more precise range of measurements is made via a second group of sensing elements.
