Custom Fluid Level Sensors

M-Series sensors are fully custom-designed to your specification requirements. Every element of the fluid level sensor construction is considered during the design to ensure it will perfectly suit your application. This range is compatible with most fluid types, including fuel/gasoline, oil, bio-fuel, water/coolant, adblue, ink plus many other more specialist fluids. The sensors are designed using materials suitable for the application, including aluminium, stainless-steel, titanium, peak and super-lightweight carbon-fibre for racing and aerospace applications.
