Those sensors are not known for their reliability.

1st thing to try is jabbing at the float with a pencil / screwdriver or similar, in case it is gunged up, this may free it.

If the sensor is knackered, then you can unplug the connector from the bottom of the tank and shove a paperclip in it, this will silence the alert, If you want to retain the functionaility, then get a new tank.

IIRC a new header tank is around the £30 mark. You get rid of the warning and it looks good when you lift the bonnet!
