Hi,

I would like to use a pressure sensor to measure the level of water in a
water tank. Being a cheapskate I was going to use the oil pressure sender
from a car but I calculated that for 1m of water I would only get 1.4psi
(0.1bar). Does anyone know where I might find a cheap pressure sensor for
such a task? Jaycar have a sensor but I'm not sure if it likes water:

Easy enough to find them online -- any sort you might ask for. Whether the
majority will ship to Oz is unknown. Here is a nice sample:

No sweat. They probably told you what I'm about to...

Re-use one from an old washing machine...

Right?

Cheers.
