Disclosed herein is a device 100 for detecting water level in a fuel filter 200. The device 100 comprises a hollow casing 102 and a floating element 108. The hollow casing 102 is placed at the bottom of the fuel filter 200 and adapted to receive fuel from a fuel tank. The floating element 108 provided within the hollow casing 102 and has a specific gravity between specific gravity of the fuel and specific gravity of water. the device is characterized in having a light transmitter 104 and a light receiver 106 located opposite to each other within the hollow casing 102. The light transmitter 104 and the light receiver 106 are adapted to detect water level within the hollow casing 102 by movement of the floating element 108. Reference figure: Figure. 1
