A dump valve system controls the level of a liquid inside a vessel that includes a liquid discharge. The dump valve system includes an automatic dump valve connected downstream from the liquid discharge and configured to adjust the flow rate of the liquid through the liquid discharge, a float inside the vessel, a float arm connected to the float, and an inclinometer attached to the float arm and configured to output an angular disposition signal representative of the angular disposition of the float arm. The dump valve system can also include a flow meter configured to measure the flow rate of liquids discharged from the automatic dump valve and output a flow rate signal representative of the measured flow rate. A control module is configured to adjust the operation of the automatic dump valve in response to the flow rate signal and the angular disposition signal.

A support brace for a float arm of a fluid level sensor is provided. The support brace includes a base having opposite first and second ends, and a beam having opposite first and second ends. The first end of the beam is connected to the first end of the base, and the beam extends from base wherein an angle is formed between the base and the beam. A channel is formed along a length of the base. At least one side clip is attached to a side of the beam. An end clip is attached to the second end of the beam. The channel, the at least one side clip, and the end clip are engageable with a wire that forms the float arm, and the support brace reinforces the float arm. A float arm assembly and a fuel level sensor including the support brace are also provided.
