Abstract

In a level sensor (2) for a fuel tank, one end of a lever wire (7) is located at a distance from a bearing (11) of a bracket (5). The bracket (5) has two limbs (12, 13) of which one holds the lever wire (7) and the other controls the signal transmitter (8). This enables the level sensor (1) to be calibrated in a particularly easy manner.
