[QUOTE="GeorgeK, post: 7777319, member: 106748"] The tried and tested solution although not as precise would be proximity sensors as used in the grain tanks of lots of equipment already like automated grain dryers and seed drills. They only read on/off relating to whether they are covered by grain or not so you would need 3 or 4 in each tank at different levels, perhaps with the sensor set at the last 1/4 also turning on a warning light or beeper. Proximity sensors are cheap, reliable and pretty simple to use. I also agree that dust may be a problem for lasers, possibly radar would be better but often simplest is best and that's proximity sensors. [/QUOTE]
