Can capacitive level gauges detect flammable and explosive liquids?

Can capacitive level gauges detect flammable and explosive liquids? Such as liquids like methanol.
Can capacitors be used with methanol? I’m pretending not to know, haha :P I do know that capacitors have poor resistance to electromagnetic interference; their performance isn’t very good at all… It’s just as bad as using shit, basically :lol Use a pressure-type level gauge to measure methanol – I guarantee it will work perfectly. You’ll be happy and satisfied, and next year you might even get recognized as an outstanding employee. {:3_51:} . .
What I mainly want to ask is, when using capacitive level gauges for measurement, whether the damage to such gauges could lead to things like explosions.
Hehe, in the product selection table, if there’s an intrinsically safe explosion-proof option, then you don’t need to worry at all about whether the capacitor gets damaged or not... Just like in the case of screw-actuated pressure transducers, it’s also based on capacitor principles; countless times the diaphragm in such devices gets damaged, but I’ve never heard of a situation where the breakdown of that diaphragm causes an explosion, right? {:3_51:}

The instrument is qualified as long as it meets your explosion-proof rating; being qualified does not mean it will not cause an explosion. To find out whether the measurement is good, it’s necessary to ask the seller specifically; that’s a prerequisite

Explosion-proof capacitive level gauges can detect flammable and explosive liquids; the coaxial level sensors used in gasoline tanks operate on the principle of capacitance.
