1. A device for monitoring a fluid level within a tank equipped with a sensor that is adapted to provide electrical signals indicative of whether or not the fluid level within the tank has dropped below a predetermined minimum level, the device comprising:

  • a battery;

    a microprocessor;

    a strobe light; and

    a lens that cooperates with a housing to encase at least the strobe light, the lens being adapted to allow light emitted from the strobe light to be observable from any angle in a horizontal plane that includes the strobe light;

    wherein the microprocessor is programmed toquery the sensor and determine, based on electrical signals received from the sensor, whether or not the fluid level within the tank has dropped below a predetermined minimum level, andsend signals to the strobe light to flash when it is determined that the fluid level within the tank has dropped below the predetermined minimum level.
