Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it unnecessary to provide mounting screws for a base and work for fixing by the screws by forming an upper actuator formed integrally with an oil receiving pan base and arranging the oil receiving pan directly on the actuator. CONSTITUTION:An upper actuator 3 is formed integrally with an oil receiving pan base, and said oil receiving pan 2 is formed directly on this upper actuator and arranged at the oil receiving pan base. With this arrangement, an oil storage tank 1 is mounted and, when liquid fuel is stored in this oil storage tank 1, the whole device is pressed down by the weight load corresponding to the amount of residual oil to deform a strain plate 4. By this deformation, the electric resistance value of a resistance wire stain gauge 5 changes. By sensing this change in the electric resistance value it is possible to detect the residual oil quantity in the manner with the conventional device of residual oil quantity detection.
