Estimating the term…
An intrusive fluid sensor mounting arrangement for a fluid container includes first and second tubes, the first tube being attachable to a wall of the container such that a first end of the first tube is open to the container exterior through the container wall and a second end of the first tube extends into the container; the second tube being sized to slide axially within the first tube between first and second positions; the second tube having a first end accessible from outside the container such that a sensor can be installed in and removed from the second tube; the second tube providing fluid communication between the sensor and fluid in the container when the second tube is in the first position, and substantially preventing fluid loss from the container when the second tube is in the second position.
An intrusive fluid level sensor mounting arrangement for a fluid container, said mounting arrangement comprising first and second tubes, said first tube being attachable to a wall of the container such that a first end of said first tube is open to the container exterior through the container wall and a second end of said first tube extends into the container;
An intrusive assembly for installing and removing a fuel sensor on a fuel tank, said assembly comprising a first tube fixed to a tank wall such that a first end of said first tube is open to the tank exterior through a tank wall and a second end of said first tube extends into the tank interior, said first tube having a fill hole through a wall thereof, said fill hole being axially spaced from said first tube ends and inside the tank;
An intrusive mounting arrangement for mounting a fluid sensor in a fluid container such that the sensor is exposed to fluid in the container, said mounting arrangement comprising means for mounting the sensor to the container through a hole in the container wall, and means for slidably positioning the sensor in first and second positions so that the sensor is exposed to fluid in the container when the sensor is in said first position, and the fluid is substantially blocked from said hole by said slidable positioning means during sensor removal when the sensor is in said second position.
