Method and apparatus for level control in a water tank of a fuel reformer

A method, comprising:

• determining whether a fluid is present at a first switch in a receptacle;
• determining whether the fluid is present at a second switch in a receptacle, wherein the second switch is below the first switch;
• providing fluid to the receptacle in response to determining that the fluid is not present at the second switch;
• and
• removing a portion of the fluid from the receptacle in response to determining that the fluid is present at the first switch.

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for determining whether a fluid is present at a first switch in a receptacle;
• means for determining whether the fluid is present at a second switch in a receptacle, wherein the second switch is below the first switch;
• means for providing fluid to the receptacle in response to determining that the fluid is not present at the second switch;
• and
• means for removing a portion of the fluid from the receptacle in response to determining that the fluid is present at the first switch.

A method of controlling a water level in a water tank that is capable of providing water to a fuel reformer, wherein the water tank has a plurality of sources of water ingress and a plurality of outputs for water egress, comprising:

• determining whether water is present at a first switch in the water tank;
• determining whether water is present at a second switch in the water tank, wherein the second switch is deployed below the first switch;
• providing water to the water tank via one of the plurality of input sources in response to determining that water is not present at the second switch;
• and
• allowing water egress from the water tank via one of the plurality of outputs in response to determining that water is present at the first switch.
