Summary:

This paper describes a fuel level sensor, which basically consists of thin-film resistors encapsulated in Kapton foils. The thin-film elements are heated by constant current pulses and the immersed part is cooled by the liquid to be measured. This results in a change in resistance which can be detected by various types of evaluation circuitry discussed in the paper. This electrothermal principle has a number of advantages compared to conventional methods:A status report on development progress is given including test results with first prototypes and a discussion of the achieved error-band
