An automotive electronic alarm system (1) for a motor vehicle (2), comprising a fuel level sensor (6) arranged in a fuel tank (3) of the motor vehicle (2) to output an electrical signal indicating fuel level in the fuel tank (3); and an electronic control and processing unit (9) configured to receive and process the electrical signal from the fuel level sensor (6) to determine an alarm condition on the basis of the received electrical signal. The fuel level sensor (6) is designed to output an electrical signal also indicating amplitude of oscillations/ripples of a free surface of the fuel in the fuel tank (3), and the electronic control and processing unit (9) is configured to determine the alarm condition on the basis of the amplitude of the oscillations of the free surface of the fuel in the fuel tank (3).
