A level sensing assembly senses the level of a fluid in a tank. The tank includes a fluid port that is disposed below the level of the fluid and an air port disposed above the level of fluid. The level sensing assembly includes a lower port in fluid communication with the fluid port of the tank. An upper port is in fluid communication with the lower port of the tank. A measuring vessel is disposed between the lower and upper ports and is in fluid communication therebetween. The measuring vessel includes an auxiliary port disposed adjacent the upper port. The level sensing assembly also includes a level sensor extending down through the auxiliary port into the measuring vessel to measure the level of the fluid in the measuring vessel and the level of the fluid in the tank.
A method for modifying a level sensing assembly having a measuring vessel with a lower port, an upper port, an auxiliary port, a set of tricock ports and a mechanical float port having a mechanical float extending therethrough into the measuring vessel, wherein the method includes the use of a level sensor having an elongated body with a defined length, the method comprising the steps of:
