Abstract: A fluid level monitor incorporated into a fuel tank. A sensor module is adapted to being mounted to an exterior of the tank. A tube extends from the module within the tank and secures a housing at an interior location. The housing has a gear assembly, a float arm pivotally secures to the gear assembly and, in response to changes in a fluid level of the tank, causes the gear assembly to rotate a drive rod extending within the tube. A coupler forms a portion of the sensor module and is secured to an upper end of the drive rod. Rotation of the coupler relative to a PCB integrated into the sensor module produces an inductive signal indicative of the amount of displacement of the float and, consequently, the level of the fluid within the tank.
