Yes, there is, and in fact many of the newer liners have them built in.
If you are obliquely referring to the crash landing of the Air Canada Boeing
757, the plane had the sensors, which are sold by Honeywell. They were not
working correctly, and have been redesigned by Honeywell. On that particular
flight, they were recognized as being inoperable, and a manual fuel measuring
was undertaken.
