I used one of those switches (actually a plastic version) in my brake & clutch reservoir - works a treat and dead simple to install.
Just drill a hole in the tank at the desired level and insert the float switch and tighten the nut. Then wire up the switch to a warning light and +ve
feed ..... job done.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

I've been racking my brains on how to do a level switch for the SVA !! Wanted remote reservoir, but couldn't find a decent one with a
float in the lid..!

Both Nylon and PPS are fuel resistant so they would be fine to use in a fuel tank and both nitrile and viton seals are fuel resistant, so this one
would be fine:
338-9750
Its external mount, so you dont need access to the inside of the tank to fit it either.
