Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A water sensor for a fuel filtration apparatus includes a main body with at least one electrical contact disposed proximate the first end of the main body. The electrical contact(s) is operatively connectable to an electronic control unit. Multiple sensor contacts are disposed proximate a second end of the main body. The sensor contacts are configured to detect multiple water levels and provide an output on each water level detected. The electrical contact is configured to send the output to an electronic control unit. The water level information provided by the water sensor can be tracked by a control device to determine if the fill rate of water meets an alarm value.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method for detecting water accumulation in a filtration module comprising: detecting a water level with a water in fuel sensor, the water-in-fuel sensor comprises a main body having a first end and a second end, at least one electrical contact disposed proximate the first end, the at least one electrical contact is operatively connectable to an electronic control unit, and multiple sensor contacts disposed proximate the second end, the multiple sensor c…
