hi
been meaning to post this for a while and just spotted Iwasnevy's post,
my problem is that i have a jeep with a "clear"plastic radiator header tank,
snag is, it impossible to see the level.and no access from the top.
it has a submersable type warning light, but this only comes on when the tank is empty.
im looking for something a bit simpler (and external) than iwasnevy,perhaps a led/infrared transmitter on one side and a similar reciever on the opposite side,
im assuming that the water would provide enough attenuation to ensure a positive switchover,?
if anyones done something similar or has any ideas,it would be much appreciated.
im ok with electronics.
ps im also looking into the possibility of putting some sort of dye into the water but i dont know if this is possible.
regards
dougal
