The neatest float gauge is the one Europa used to sell, It has a magnet
attached to a cork and reed switches at 8 or 10 points to read level.
Very reliable.
Best advantage of capacitance is if there's any water about in the tank
they read full scale. As you say reading varies with fuel type.
Most elegant fuel gauge is Tony K's but you have to build it yourself.

This will hinder the accuracy of the
gauge, and one could argue that the float could be at least as accurate, if
not more so -if the user is not married to one fuel type. Of course, a float
is also cost-effective on the pocketbook.
I don't mean to be anal-ytical about it all, but maybe it has happened.
