A low level detection system and a fluid reservoir for a vehicle, comprising: a supply of fluid retained in said fluid reservoir, said supply of fluid having an upper surface which defines the depth of said supply of fluid; a primary fluid pump having a fluid inlet and being constructed and arranged for drawing fluid from said fluid reservoir and delivering at least a portion of said fluid to a location which is downstream from said primary fluid pump; a secondary fluid pump having a fluid inlet and being constructed and arranged for drawing fluid from said fluid reservoir and delivering at least a portion of said fluid to a location which is downstream from said secondary fluid pump, said secondary fluid pump having an ON operational state and an OFF operational state; monitoring and control means constructed and arranged for monitoring the operational state of said secondary fluid pump and for switching an OFF operational state of said secondary fluid pump to an ON operational state for said secondary fluid pump; characterised in that the fluid inlet of said primary fluid pump is positioned in said fluid reservoir at a first depth relative to said upper surface, the fluid inlet of said secondary fluid pump is positioned in said fluid reservoir at a second depth relative to said upper surface and wherein when said supply of fluid is sufficient to cover the fluid inlet of said secondary fluid pump, the fluid inlet of said secondary fluid pump is closer to said upper surface than is the fluid inlet of said primary fluid pump; and the low level detection system comprises sensor means constructed and arranged for reading the current draw of said secondary fluid pump when in said ON operational state. a supply of fluid retained in said fluid reservoir, said supply of fluid having an upper surface which defines the depth of said supply of fluid; a primary fluid pump having a fluid inlet and being constructed and arranged for drawing fluid from said fluid reservoir and delivering at least a portion of said fluid to a location which is downstream from said primary fluid pump; a secondary fluid pump having a fluid inlet and being constructed and arranged for drawing fluid from said fluid reservoir and delivering at least a portion of said fluid to a location which is downstream from said secondary fluid pump, said secondary fluid pump having an ON operational state and an OFF operational state; monitoring and control means constructed and arranged for monitoring the operational state of said secondary fluid pump and for switching an OFF operational state of said secondary fluid pump to an ON operational state for said secondary fluid pump; characterised in that the fluid inlet of said primary fluid pump is positioned in said fluid reservoir at a first depth relative to said upper surface, the fluid inlet of said secondary fluid pump is positioned in said fluid reservoir at a second depth relative to said upper surface and wherein when said supply of fluid is sufficient to cover the fluid inlet of said secondary fluid pump, the fluid inlet of said secondary fluid pump is closer to said upper surface than is the fluid inlet of said primary fluid pump; and the low level detection system comprises sensor means constructed and arranged for reading the current draw of said secondary fluid pump when in said ON operational state.
