A system for liquid fuel delivery, comprising: a pump (104, 204, 304), comprising an inlet (154, 324) and an outlet (156, 326), to pump liquid fuel from a storage source (110, 210) to a delivery location; a sensor (102, 202, 302, 402) disposed at the inlet of the pump, the sensor being configured to detect the presence of liquid fuel at the inlet, and transmit a detection signal comprising one of: a first signal indicative of a predetermined amount of liquid fuel present at the inlet; and a second signal indicative of the predetermined amount of liquid fuel not being present at the inlet; a power supply (106, 206) configured to supply power to operate the pump; and a controller (108, 508) communicatively coupled with the sensor and the power supply to control operation of the power supply, the controller being configured to operably mitigate the power supplied by the power supply to operate the pump upon determination by the controller that a predetermined liquid threshold is not present at the inlet of the pump, based at least upon the detection signal transmitted by the sensor, in order to avoid operation of the pump in a dry condition, wherein the controller (108, 508) comprises a processor configured to receive data indicative of the detection signal, and determine (604, 606, 608, 610) whether the predetermined liquid threshold is present in the pump inlet based at least upon the data indicative of the detection signal, and wherein the processor is further configured to determine (604, 606, 608, 610) that the predetermined liquid threshold is present in the pump by being configured to: receive the data indicative of the detection signal over a predetermined time period, identify a ratio of any received first signals to any received second signal from the detection signals received during the predetermined time period, and determine (608, 610) that the identified ratio is within a predetermined ratio threshold indicative of the presence of the predetermined liquid threshold. a pump (104, 204, 304), comprising an inlet (154, 324) and an outlet (156, 326), to pump liquid fuel from a storage source (110, 210) to a delivery location; a sensor (102, 202, 302, 402) disposed at the inlet of the pump, the sensor being configured to detect the presence of liquid fuel at the inlet, and transmit a detection signal comprising one of: a first signal indicative of a predetermined amount of liquid fuel present at the inlet; and a second signal indicative of the predetermined amount of liquid fuel not being present at the inlet; a first signal indicative of a predetermined amount of liquid fuel present at the inlet; and a second signal indicative of the predetermined amount of liquid fuel not being present at the inlet; a power supply (106, 206) configured to supply power to operate the pump; and a controller (108, 508) communicatively coupled with the sensor and the power supply to control operation of the power supply, the controller being configured to operably mitigate the power supplied by the power supply to operate the pump upon determination by the controller that a predetermined liquid threshold is not present at the inlet of the pump, based at least upon the detection signal transmitted by the sensor, in order to avoid operation of the pump in a dry condition, wherein the controller (108, 508) comprises a processor configured to receive data indicative of the detection signal, and determine (604, 606, 608, 610) whether the predetermined liquid threshold is present in the pump inlet based at least upon the data indicative of the detection signal, and wherein the processor is further configured to determine (604, 606, 608, 610) that the predetermined liquid threshold is present in the pump by being configured to: receive the data indicative of the detection signal over a predetermined time period, identify a ratio of any received first signals to any received second signal from the detection signals received during the predetermined time period, and determine (608, 610) that the identified ratio is within a predetermined ratio threshold indicative of the presence of the predetermined liquid threshold. receive the data indicative of the detection signal over a predetermined time period, identify a ratio of any received first signals to any received second signal from the detection signals received during the predetermined time period, and determine (608, 610) that the identified ratio is within a predetermined ratio threshold indicative of the presence of the predetermined liquid threshold.
