摘要: A system and method for detecting phase separation in storage tanks is provided. At least one float has a density calibrated to detect differential among surrounding fluids. The buoyant on relatively more dense lower layer of fluid such as separated fuel or pure water, while remaining submerged less upper gasoline/ethanol blend. detection device sends signal when the rises falls above below preset acceptable level.
