I wanted to measure the level of my home heating oil tank with esphome.io and home assistant. Settled on a waterproof ultrasonic sensor with a single transducer as it fits nicely into the hole many oil tanks have to fit an Apollo Watchman or similar commercially available sensor.
Sensor used:

Printed with raft and supports for the body as it ended up being a complex shape.
Insert the sensor into the body and the screw the sensor onto the oil
