I looked at ultrasonic measuring designs as well. What worried me was how those systems performed when they got wet, which is clearly what would happen in a boat tank. I couldn't see any way to waterproof them while retaining their functionality.
The immersed rod systems were most appealing to me for their simplicity. I saw a couple of commercial products that used a few stainless rods of varying lengths - I think I might be able to duplicate that using 1/8 inch brass brazing rods. Another way to do it would be to use some double sided copper board (long and thin) etched to create measurement points down either side.
