OIL LEVEL SENSOR GUIDE
A fluid tank system comprises a fluid container that includes a sensor opening in a fluid container wall defined by a rim, and a fluid level sensor comprising a radial flange on a proximate end of a longitudinally extending electronics stem that includes a distal end. The distal end of the electronic stem is inserted into the fluid container via the sensor opening and the radial flange seats on the rim. The distal end of the electronics stem is guided via a first radial support and a second radial support to a seat that is located coaxial with the sensor opening, where the first and second radial supports are longitudinally separated and radially spaced apart to allow the electronics stem to longitudinally pass between the first and second radial supports until the flange seats on the rim ensuring that the distal end of the electronic stem is longitudinally positioned adjacent to the seat.

Reservoir tank and vehicle brake apparatus
A reservoir tank includes a reservoir body defining a storage chamber for an operating fluid; and a float guide in the storage chamber. The float guide forms a float chamber on the inner side. The reservoir tank further includes a fluid level detection device that has a float moving up and down in the float chamber in accordance with fluctuations of a fluid level, and has a detector detecting when the float is below predetermined position. The reservoir tank is provided with a slit in the float guide. The slit is in communication with the storage chamber and the float chamber. An operating fluid passage is provided on an inner face of the float guide which is continuous with the slit, which is in communication with the slit and the float chamber.

Liquid-surface detection device
A float floats on a liquid inside a container and is movable upward and downward according to a liquid surface level. A cover is located inside the container and houses the float inside the cover. A detector detects the position of the float. The cover includes a support part and a wall part. The support part allows upward and downward displacement of the float and restricts displacement of the float outward from the cover. The wall part is located around the support part. The wall part has an opening that allows communication between the inside of the cover and the outside of the cover. The area of the opening is larger than the surface area of the wall part except the opening.
