High-precision fuel level sensors (FLS, also meters or sensors) of the '''Escort''' brand are designed to determine the filling level of petroleum products in fuel tanks, reservoirs and storage tanks. The '''TD-150-BLE''' meter (sensor) is used in transport technology as a fuel level meter, in industry - as a level meter for any light petroleum products. Escort FLS measurement type is capacitive. Its readings are based on the dielectric constant of the medium in which it operates; in this case, the medium is various types of light petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, motor oil). | High-precision fuel level sensors (FLS, also meters or sensors) of the '''Escort''' brand are designed to determine the filling level of petroleum products in fuel tanks, reservoirs and storage tanks.

* '''Remove fuel vapors and air from the tank''' (especially for a gasoline tank, but in the case of a diesel engine, this procedure should not be neglected, since gasoline could be added to the diesel); to do this, you can heat water to boiling point and direct the resulting steam into the tank or use carbon dioxide so that it displaces fuel vapors and air; ensure that any open flame sources are sufficiently far away from the fuel tank[[ | * '''Remove fuel vapors and air from the tank''' (especially for a gasoline tank, but in the case of a diesel engine, this procedure should not be neglected, since gasoline could be added to the diesel); to do this, you can heat water to boiling point and direct the resulting steam into the tank or use carbon dioxide so that it displaces fuel vapors and air; ensure that any open flame sources are sufficiently far away from the fuel tank | ||
* '''Find the geometric center of the tank and drill a hole''' in it using a '''ø3mm''' drill bit. Then, using a piece of stiff wire, examine the tank for the presence of partitions in it[[ | * [[File:Removing fuel vapors.png|frameless|656x656px]] | ||
* If the space inside the tank in the selected location is free, '''drill a ø 35 mm hole''' using a bimetallic bit; When drilling, keep the bit tilted slightly to prevent the cut section from falling into the tank. Use a magnet to catch chips and prevent them from getting into the tank.[[ | * '''Find the geometric center of the tank and drill a hole''' in it using a '''ø3mm''' drill bit.

* If it is impossible to install the sensor in the geometric center of the tank, try choosing another location as close as possible to the geometric center of the tank; this point should coincide with the place where the height of the tank is maximum. This way you reduce the risk and amplitude of level fluctuations associated with fuel movement while driving. | * If it is impossible to install the sensor in the geometric center of the tank, try choosing another location as close as possible to the geometric center of the tank; this point should coincide with the place where the height of the tank is maximum.
