A device for indicating a fluid level in a storage tank, which device is connectable to the storage tank using two fluid connections vertically spaced apart from each other, the device consisting essentially of three components which are configured to be clipped to one another in the form of:
- a base part for fastening to the storage tank;
- a housing part configured as a riser pipe for indicating a fluid level corresponding to the contents of the storage tank;
- and
- a closure part for sealing off the interior of the housing part from the environment;
- wherein
- a clip connection is formed of a locking hook of a first component of the three components, which engages in a locking recess of a second component of the three components.
