A system for determining the fuel content of the tank of private and commercial motor vehicles is illustrated for the former in Figure 1 where a saddle tank construction (2) is shown supported on the compression springs (3,3') each anchored to the vehicle chassis (4,4') and provided with an inductive or piezoelectric oscillation sensor (5). The method is based on the inverse relationship between mass and square of the frequency of oscillation for a simply supported spring-mass system so that the oscillatory signals from the sensor(s) registering the natural frequency of tank vibration are a continuous index of total mass and therefore fuel content subject to a constant of proportionality.
