Figure 1 - Graph of Transducer Accuracy vs. Tank Depth

The pressure transducer you select must have sufficient range to measure the full height of the liquid column of a full tank. The table in Figure 2 below shows the maximum depth that can be sensed by each pressure transducer type. This table assumes that water level is being measured. The maximum depth of diesel fuel can that can be measured varies from these figures slightly depending on the density of the diesel fuel.
