A capacitor for a fluid level sensor that has first and second elongated expandable capacitor plates mounted in spaced relationship with respect to each other in a container to form a capacitor for measuring data representing the liquid in the container, the capacitor plates being continuously expandable from a first length to a second length with a given change in the shape of the container. Thus, the capacitor compensates for the change in container shape.
