I have used an ultrasonic sensor in a water tank.
I have put cameras on tank indicators.
There are pressure transducers that work down in the inches of water
pressures. Motorola used to make them.
You could put a strain gauge under one end and weigh the tank.
A float on a stick that comes vertically through a plug is what old
airplanes use. Have a web cam pointed at it. Mark it as you fill it.

Subject: [AFMUG] Monitoring Diesel fuel level
Anybody had a Diesel tank level monitor that they like? Preferably
something that could Wire into a Site Monitor for monitoring. Needing to
monitor 2 Generator tanks. one is about 6" deep, 20Gallon. The other
is about 24" deep, 50 gallon.
The 6" Tank is Steel and has a cheap float guage. Something that could
replace that would be perfect.
The 24" tank is plastic, and has no gauge from what I can tell.
