Comparative fuel-level detection system

A fuel-level detection system configured to determine a fuel level in a fuel system, the fuel-level detection system comprising:

• a comparative fuel probe associated with the fuel system, including—
• a capacitive probe assembly configured to provide a comparative capacitive reading,
• a float assembly configured to provide a comparative float reading,
• wherein the capacitive probe assembly is disposed proximate to the float assembly;
• a comparator configured to receive the comparative capacitive reading and to receive the comparative float reading,
• wherein the comparator is configured to determine a corrective factor based at least in part on the comparative capacitive reading and the comparative float reading;
• and
• a first capacitive probe disposed in a first fuel tank of the fuel system,
• a second capacitive probe disposed in a second fuel tank of the fuel system,
• wherein each of the first capacitive probe and the second capacitive probe is configured to provide a local capacitive reading,
• wherein the fuel level in the fuel system is determined by comparing each local capacitive reading with the corrective factor.
