OMEGA® non-intrusive RF capacitance sensors deliver accurate and reliable liquid level detection with an SPST mechanical relay output. A versatile weld-on fitting enables the sensor to be mounted directly to the wall of any standard polyethylene, fiberglass or polypropylene tank. Simply align the fitting with the tank and press it into place. An engineered adhesive holds the fitting during welding and provides a seal between the sensor and the tank wall. OMEGA’s two-step calibration feature ensures the highest level of dielectric sensitivity.

Can this sensor be modified to detect the difference between an aqueous and an organic solvent or can it only detect wet vs dry?
Unfortunately, no. You may want to look at continuous level monitors, such as ultrasonic for non-contact. https://www.omega.com/en-us/sensors-and-sensing-equipment/level/ultrasonic-sensor/p/LVU201A
Ultrasonics do have problems with fumes or foam. If this is the case then review:
