Fastening apparatus is provided for releasably holding a liquid-level sensor over an opening in a liquid container. An annular bracket is mounted about the opening for receiving the liquid level sensor, and an annular bracket extension is provided to project upwardly from the bracket, with the extension having a laterally projecting flange at its upper end. A holding ring is provided for placement over the bracket extension to overlie a sensor lip which projects laterally from a sensor. The sensor is positioned on the bracket and then the holding ring is positioned about the sensor to overlie the lip. The holding ring includes a laterally extending flange which is co-extensive with the flange of the bracket extension. A V-band clamp is removably fitted about the flanges of the bracket extension and holding ring to secure the flanges together and thus secure the holding ring over the lip of the sensor to secure the sensor in place.
