Tank device for a motor vehicle

A tank device for a motor vehicle includes a tank container defined by a tank wall having at least one stop region, and at least one lever sensor arranged in the interior of the tank container. The at least one stop region is an end stop for the lever sensor to prevent adhesion of the lever sensor to the tank wall.

Liquid level detecting apparatus of tank for vehicle

A liquid level detecting apparatus of a tank for a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a main detecting part that detects the liquid level of the liquid in a tank to output a liquid level detection signal corresponding to the liquid level and an auxiliary floater assembly that has an auxiliary floater provided to float on the liquid surface of the liquid in the tank. A gyro sensor is mounted to the auxiliary floater, and an angle detection signal corresponding to an inclined angle of the tank is output by the gyro sensor. A controller determines a final liquid level value by correcting a liquid level value obtained from the liquid level detection signal based on the angle detection signal.

MEASURING CUP

The measuring cup includes numerous embodiments configured for a user to precisely determine the cup contents without need to lift the cup to one's eye level or to lower the eye level to the level of the cup contents. The various embodiments include folding cups; cups having transparent passages in the wall; cups having adjustably positionable bottoms; cups having level indicator rods in the cup interior extending upward from the cup bottom; cups having one or more filaments extending across the cup interior; cups having rigid level indicators spanning the cup interior; cups having adjustably positionable level indicator tabs therein; cups having buoyant level indicator tabs adjustably positionable in the cup interior; and cups having removable clip-on scales extending down along the interior of the cup wall, the scales having a plurality of attachment points for the removable attachment of a level indicator tab at a desired attachment point.

Methods and systems for fuel level indicators in a saddle fuel tank

Methods and systems are provided for diagnosing fuel level indicators in a saddle fuel tank. In one example, a method may include determining degradation of each of the first and the second fuel level indicators included in a first compartment and a second compartment of a saddle tank based on a correlation between changes in fuel tank pressure during the refueling event and an indication by the fuel level indicators of the first and the second compartment reaching full capacity.
