West Fuel Systems supplies fuel tank alarms that are suitable for almost any application. These fall into three main categories:
Fuel Tank Overfill alarms:
Warn the user if the tank has been, or is in danger of being, filled beyond its capacity. This prevents overflow of chemicals which can be, at best, wasteful and, at worst, harmful to your employees, your equipment, and the environment. The cost of chemical overflow and spillage in terms of clean-up, repair and potential fines can be significant, so tank overfill alarms are an essential piece of equipment.
Fuel Tank low-level alarms:
Warn you if the tank is nearly empty, ensuring that you are able to refill it in good time and avoiding a situation where vital machinery stops running.
Fuel Tank Bund alarms:
Alert you if the fluid has entered the tank bund, which could suggest that there is damage to either the interior or exterior wall of the tank bund, an issue that must be quickly remedied.
Whatever your requirements, West Fuel Systems limited can supply fuel tank alarms that suit all applications. We supply fuel tank alarms that detect just one of the above scenarios on a single tank, a device that can provide alarms for all three scenarios, and even alarms that can detect inputs from up to three different tanks.
West Fuel Systems supplies fuel tank alarm options for both battery and mains powered alarms, and we also supply a wide range of compact fuel tank alarms perfect for use in confined spaces. In addition, you can purchase remote warming devices that connect to a relay, allowing an alarm to sound in remote locations well away from the tank being monitored.
All of the fuel tank overfill alarms & bund alarms as well as the battery fuel tank alarm range are manufactured & developed in the UK.
These tank alarms can be used in AdBlue® tanks with one of our range of stainless steel floats, making them suitable for almost any application.
230V Fuel Tank Alarm
- 3 channel alarm designed to detect overfill, low level/reorder level or bund alarm situations in 1, 2 or 3 tanks. Connect up to 3 float switches.
- 230V, weatherproof alarm box, xenon beacon & individual channel LEDs.
- High powered alarm sounder 90dB at 1m.
- Order the float switches separately.
- Universal float switches, can be used for high, bund or low level/reorder, just configure the dip switches inside the alarm box to activate the level alarm required.
- Choose Diesel, Petrol or AdBlue®/water float switches.
- Relay outputs can be used to switch secondary equipment & sounders like our remote warning device (RWD2).
- Offers external outputs 1 per channel, they are a switch only & not a power source, not to be used to activate fuel pumps or safety valves.
- Output relay contacts rated at 250V, 5amps/100VA max.
- Volt free contacts for each channel.
Battery Fuel Tank Alarm
3 channel alarm designed to detect overfill, low level/reorder level or bund alarm situations in 1, 2 or 3 tanks. Connect up to 3 float switches.
- 230V, weatherproof alarm box, xenon beacon & individual channel LEDs.
- High powered alarm sounder 90dB at 1m.

Single Fuel Tank Alarm Probe
The Single Fuel Tank Alarm Probe is designed to be purchased alongside the mains or battery-operated fuel tank alarms, when either a high-level, low level or bund alert is required. If both high and low-level alerts are requirements of your fuel storage tank level alarm, then a double probe should be purchased. If you require all three alerts, then you would need to purchase both a double and a single fuel tank level probe. These alarm probes can be used on other industrial control systems that use a simple reed switch control input.
The standard code for the single fuel tank level switch is designed for use on steel tanks. Please see the accessories table for the kit required to adapt it for plastic tanks.
Features of the Single Fuel Tank Alarm Probe:
- For use with the CTS mains or battery tank level alarms
- High, low or bund alerts
- 5m or 9m fuel tank probe cable
- 1 1/2″ F BSO brass cap
- 1 x Grommet
- Buna, nylon, stainless steel parts
- Temp Range: -20°c – +80°c
For diesel, fuels, light oils and water
Float is reversible
Double Fuel Tank Alarm Probe
The Double Fuel Tank Alarm Probe is required when a CTS mains or battery fuel tank alarm is purchased to alert the user of two fuel levels; usually high and low. If a bund alert is also a requirement of you fuel storage tank level alarm, then you would also need to purchase a single probe. These alarm probes can be used on other industrial control systems that use a simple reed switch control input.
The standard code for the double fuel tank level switch is designed for use on steel tanks. Please see the accessories table for the kit required to adapt it for plastic tanks.
Features of the Double Fuel Tank Alarm Probe:
- For use with the CTS mains or battery tank level alarms
- High/low, high/high or low/low
- 2 x 5m or 9m fuel tank probe cable
- 1 1/2″ F BSP brass cap
- 2 x Grommets (same cap)
- Buna, nylon, stainless steel parts
- For high level, low level or bund alert
- For diesel, fuels, light oils and water
- Float is reversible
High Viscosity Tank Level Alarm Probe
This single tank level alarm probe is designed for use with the CTS tank alarms to alert of a high or low level on tanks containing fluids with a high viscosity or containing debris. The primary use of this level switch is for use on waste oil tank alarms containing oils that need recycling or disposing of in garage and workshop applications, as due to being encapsulated reliable cut-off is ensured even with the presence of particles. The supplied weight can be attached to the cable at any desired length to adjust the switching height in high and bund applications.
The standard code for the tank alarm level probe is designed for use on steel tanks. Please see the accessories table for the kit required to adapt it for plastic tanks.
Features of the High Viscosity Tank Level Alarm Probe:
- High/low tank level probe for viscous oils
- 5m PVC cable
- 1.5″ F BSP Plastic cap & cable gland
- 3 wire NO & NC Contacts
- Polypropylene construction

Water & Chemical Tank Level Alarm Probe
This single tank level alarm probe is designed for use with the CTS tank alarms, specifically to alert of either a high or low fluid level in water and chemical tanks. Constructed of polypropylene with a polyethylene cap, this tank-level switch is suitable for use with many chemicals although we recommend that material compatibility should be checked.
The standard code for the tank alarm probe is designed for use on steel tanks. Please see the accessories table for the kit required to adapt it for plastic tanks.
