Reventec Ltd specializes in teh design and production of liquid level, position, and flow sensors tailored for extreme conditions.
Located in the UK, we are recognized globally as a leader in the development and provision of capacitive fuel level sensors specifically for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).Our sensors are utilized by prominent manufacturers and integrators of both fixed-wing and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAVs.
Fuel Level Sensors for UAVs and Drones
All Reventec UAV fuel sensors utilize capacitive technology to accurately measure fuel levels within tanks. These solid-state sensors are devoid of moving parts, ensuring high reliability even in the demanding, high-vibration environments typical of UAV fuel measurement.
Each sensor is custom-manufactured to meet specific request and installation needs.
A variety of standard mounting options are available, and sensors can be produced to the required length. For unique or complex installation scenarios, Reventec offers fully customized solutions.

Tailored Fuel Level Sensors
Custom UAV fuel sensors designed for your specific needs
The Reventec design team possesses extensive expertise in creating custom liquid level sensors for intricate integration challenges.We have developed sensors with bends in the probe for L-shaped fuel tanks, 90-degree angles in the mounting head for side installations, and utilized materials like carbon fiber for weight-sensitive unmanned aerial systems.
Case Study: Custom Fuel Sensor for an unmanned Helicopter
This specially designed level sensor was created to fit the existing fuel cell of a long-endurance unmanned helicopter. To effectively monitor the entire depth of the complex fuel cell structure,the sensor was engineered with a unique bend along the probe length.
