For radar tank gauging, the difference in dielectric constant between the free space (vapor) and the liquid is what generates a reflection from the radar gauge's signals

Dielectric Constants of Liquid Products

In laymans terms, the dielectric constant (k) of a material is the property which determines the electrostatic energy stored per unit of volume. For radar tank gauging, the difference in dielectric constant between the free space (vapor) and the liquid is what generates a reflection of the radar gauge's signals. The reflection (or return pulse) can then be dectected by the radar unit and displayed as a level measurement.
