  2. Onboard refueling vapor recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onboard_refueling_vapor...

    If the car's own vapor recovery system is working properly, then the Stage II nozzle will only be vacuuming normal fresh air and depositing that into the gas station's underground fuel storage tanks. That ends up causing evaporation of fuel vapors into the atmosphere, because too much pressure builds up in those fuel storage tanks.

  3. Float switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_switch

    [3] Where level must be sensed inside a pressurized vessel, often a magnet is used to couple the motion of the float to a switch located outside the pressurized volume. In some cases, a rod through a stuffing box can be used to operate a switch, but this creates high drag and has a potential for leakage. Successful float switch installations ...

  4. Water in fuel sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_in_Fuel_Sensor

    A water in fuel sensor, or WiF sensor, is an electronic sensor used to indicate the presence of water in fuel.It is installed in a fuel filter.When the water level in the water separator reaches the warning level, the WiF sends an electrical signal to the ECU or to dashboard (lamp). [1]

  5. Level sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

    For use in open air applications, where the sensor cannot be mounted to the bottom of the tank or pipe thereof, a special version of the hydrostatic pressure level sensor, a level probe, can be suspended from a cable into the tank to the bottom point that is to be measured. [3] The sensor must be specially designed to seal the electronics from ...

  6. Fuel gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_gauge

    When the tank is empty and the least current is flowing, the needle points to "E" indicating an empty tank; some vehicles use the indicators "1" (for full) and "0" (for empty) or "R" (for reserve) instead. [4] The digital fuel gauge in a 2018 Mazda 3 showing a nearly-empty tank along with a distance to empty display.

  7. Gas detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_detector

    The flames height varied depending on the presence of methane (higher) or the lack of oxygen (lower). To this day, in certain parts of the world flame safety lamps are still in service. The modern era of gas detection started in 1926–1927 with the development of the catalytic combustion (LEL) sensor by Dr.Oliver Johnson.

  8. Isolation tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_tank

    An isolation tank, sensory deprivation tank, float tank, float pod, float cabin, flotation tank, or sensory attenuation tank is a water filled, pitch-black, light-proof, soundproof environment heated to the same temperature as the skin.

  9. Nitrogen oxide sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_oxide_sensor

    The levels of NO are around 100–2000 ppm (parts per million) and NO 2 20–200 ppm in a range of 1–10% O 2. The sensor has to be very sensitive to pick up these levels. The main challenges in the sensor development are selectivity, sensitivity, stability, reproducibility, response time, limit of detection, and cost.
