Re: Presure Sensors to Measure Tank Fluid Level?

I'd be cautious with the sensor in or off of the fuel flow path. As your fuel pump circulates the fuel, you will get slight increases and decreases in pressure depending on where you are in the fuel path, plumbing sizes, etc. I don't know if the pressure variations would be enough to impact the gauge readings in any significant way, but I'd want to convince myself it wouldn't before taking that approach to installation.
