Yes. Well, not exactly electonic, but electric. Cars have had electric gas gauges since at least the 40s. The sending unit is a variable resistor, sort of like a volume control, that lives inside the tank; it has a float on an arm just like a toilet, that works the variable resistor. Pretty simple really.
