There are several types of BOSCH brand Sender Unit, fuel tank:

1. Potentiometric travel regulator. Differs in simplicity of design, low price and accuracy of transmitted data. However, the moving contacts that are part of it tend to rapidly oxidize and wear out.
2. The lever-type sensor is quite versatile; it can be part of the fuel supply unit or be placed separately. It fits all types of fuel tanks
3. The design of the tube-type sensor assumes the presence of resistance wires and a tube in which the float moves. It is sufficiently resistant to changes in fuel level on bends, climbs or descents
4. Non-contact magnetic sensors are used in modern vehicles that use aggressive new fuels. This eliminates premature wear and mechanical damage to the device due to being in an unfavorable environment.
