Cheap tank level sending units - and a thought about dual station
#1
If you search banggood.com for "marine level sender" they have some relatively inexpensive KUS (previously Wema) tank level sending units. I like the design, seems like little to go wrong with it. The Moeller one I have cost more than that and is complex and poorly made by comparison; it has been a source of problems. 

For my diesel tank since a single station sending unit can't be measured by two gauges in parallel, I was thinking perhaps I could put a simple relay in, so that when the key is off, sailing and dockside, Openplotter can measure the fuel level, and when the key is on it shows on the engine gauges. 

I've played with some inductive sensors, but they don't work on metal tanks, and are not as easily configured in WilhelmSK or Kip for example.
