What type tank sensor?

I have a need to replace my black tank sensors. Does anyone know what type of tank sensor this is and how they are removed? They appear to be glued/epoxied in. If I cannot get them out, I may have to drill new holes for the new Horst sensors. Thanks in advance for any information.

I've never done it but it seems that everyone seems to drill new holes. Plus, if those aren't leaking why mess with them? Seems better to have a new install following that manufacturers recommendations.

I have seen You Tube videos on it. Maybe even on the Horst site installation video.

I've never seen sensors attached like that, but I did replace our gray tank sensors with the Horst brand. If our black tank sensors ever fail, I have those here too.

It looks like an easy replacement on yours. Drill the holes next to the old sensors, and pop in the new ones. Attach the wires and you're all set.

If you don't mind spending the money you might want to look into something like this: https://www.etrailer.com/Smart-RV/SeeLeveL/SE39VR.html
I think you can use the existing wires up to where the new control panel gets mounted.

I installed the mentioned SeeLevel sensor and absolutely love it. Since the sensor is on the outside of the tank you no longer have any problems with gunk on them. More accurate readings too.
