In diesel generator applications, accurate fuel level monitoring is critical for uninterrupted operation. A generator OEM in Eastern Europe faced repeated issues with unstable tank readings, vibration interference, and frequent maintenance caused by traditional fuel level sensors installed on mobile generator sets.
After evaluating several solutions, the customer selected the Pokcenser PWL-F Float Type Level Transmitter to improve reliability, reduce downtime, and simplify maintenance across its diesel generator fleet.
According to Pokcenser product information, the PWL-F uses magnetic reed switch control technology with anti-vibration characteristics, long service life, and customizable signal outputs including 4-20mA, voltage, and resistance outputs.
The customer manufactures diesel generator systems used for:
Construction sites
Temporary power stations
Emergency backup systems
Mining equipment
Their previous float sensors frequently failed because of:
Continuous vibration during transportation
Fuel sloshing inside tanks
Corrosion caused by diesel additives
Poor signal compatibility with PLC controllers
High maintenance costs
The engineering team needed a rugged fuel tank level transmitter capable of stable operation under harsh industrial conditions.

After comparing multiple suppliers, the customer selected the Pokcenser official website solution because of several advantages:
The PWL-F float type level transmitter is specifically designed for mobile equipment, generators, trucks, and yachts. Its magnetic reed structure minimizes mechanical wear and improves reliability under vibration conditions.
The customer required compatibility with both analog gauges and PLC systems. Pokcenser provided customized outputs including:
4-20mA
0-190Ω
240-33Ω
0-5V
This simplified system integration and reduced additional converter costs.
The customer used multiple fuel tank capacities across different generator models. Pokcenser customized probe lengths from 300mm to 1200mm according to tank dimensions.
Outdoor generators often operate in rain, dust, and extreme temperatures. The PWL-F provides IP67 protection and supports operating temperatures from -40℃ to +85℃.
After deploying the Pokcenser PWL-F fuel level transmitter:
Fuel reading stability improved significantly
Maintenance frequency decreased by over 40%
Generator downtime caused by false alarms was reduced
The customer standardized Pokcenser sensors across new generator models
The customer also appreciated Pokcenser's fast OEM customization support and flexible flange/thread installation options.
Besides the PWL-F float type transmitter, Pokcenser also provides other industrial level measurement solutions for different working conditions.
The PWL-F Float Type Level Transmitter is ideal for:
Generator fuel tanks
Truck diesel tanks
Yacht fuel monitoring
Construction machinery
Mobile fuel equipment
Main features include:
