  • Fuel tank sensor assembly
    Patent number: 6131445
    Abstract: A fuel tank sensor assembly for an automotive fuel tank includes a sensor element mounted below a shear plane of the sensor assembly. In the event that a portion of the assembly is sheared off, the sensor element effectively seals off the sense port extending into the fuel tank thereby restricting liquid fuel from flowing from the tank.
