Back in 1990 I did this with a dial up modem and a slow scan TV camera.

Some are. Others are hall effect sensors which need 5v and output a voltage.
I've had some customers hook up the output of these to a voltmeter or shunt
input with reasonable results. What I've had in the queue is a module set up
specifically for these sensors and which reports percent directly.

It it not just a 0-200ohm sensor?

Holy cow, it looks like I should get around to finishing up the
$59+sensor ($50ish) add-on module for the sitemonitor system....
Didn't realize these were so expensive.

Generac 7005 Propane Tank (LP) Fuel Level Monitor - WiFi enabled
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072KJBLV2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cqtsCbZ22K84X
The only down side is it has to connect to a 2.4ghz SSID with no
security enabled. So we engineered the WiFi AP to only accept that MAC address
and only hand out 1 ip to that device and then fire walled everything so the
monitor could only talk to their cloud. Basically the device has a battery in
it and it turns on once a day for a minute and pushes its data to the cloud so
you can access it on their free AP or website.

What solutions exist to monitor propane tank levels remotely? I've
got an off-grid site with three 100 gallon tanks. The propane guy setup the
manifold such that the tanks should drain sequentially, but I'd like to
monitoring/chart them remotely. Each tank has a R3D gauge, but not sure what
sensor to plug into them.
