OVERVIEW
Capacitance-based liquid-level senders are the smart choice where ruggedness is key.
Centroid fuel senders determine fuel level by measuring the capacitance between their metal inner and outer tubes. Capacitance increases as liquid replaces air between the tubes. No float is required. They are designed for non-conducting liquids only: oil, diesel, and gasoline with up to 10% ethanol.
Centroid’s potable-water senders measure the capacitance between water and the inner conductor of a Teflon-jacketed sense wire, inside a PVC tube. This capacitance increases with water height. Non-potable water (wastewater, saltwater, rusty water) can leave a coating on the sense wire which keeps the reading from dropping to Empty correctly. So we only sell the water senders for potable water.
Electronics in the sender’s head convert capacitance into resistance, voltage, or milliamps, as determined by which output is ordered. Typically the electronics are powered by an ignition voltage connection. For some brands of E240/F33 ohm needle gauge, a sender can be provided that runs the electronics from the Send voltage.
