DIY floats
I'm exploring various ways to make my own oil tank remote level sensor, and one of them is to just use some float switches (I was thinking eight or so). Individual switches allow me to place them to account for the volume not varying linearly with the height. All the float switches I've found are either large or expensive (or both!). Since it's basically just a float and a micro switch I thought I could just slap a few together myself. Normal wood isn't sufficiently buoyant, but I was thinking polyurethaned cork, foam, or balsa wood might work. And intuition on this out there? Thanks.
