A level sensing apparatus () for attachment to a sounding tube to measure levels of content in a tank. The level sensing apparatus includes a housing () for enclosing components of the level sensing apparatus (). These components include a transmitter and an antenna () operatively connected to the transmitter for directing electrical or mechanical waves in a direction away from the transmitter. The antenna is adapted to also receive electrical and mechanical waves. The apparatus further includes a sounding tube adaptor () sized for attachment to a sounding tube, and a connector assembly operatively attaching the housing to the sounding tube adaptor. The connector assembly enabling the housing to rotate relative to the sounding tube adaptor about a horizontal axis to expose an open end of the sounding tube. In use, the level sensing apparatus allows for pulse radar measurement of liquid levels in the tank. The housing may be rotated relative to the sounding tube to also allow for manual level measurements or sampling of the tank contents.
