Terrance, and others,

I have the ppavionics fuel controller. It works fine. = It is the=20 simplest system to use. Turn it on, it turns itself off or you can = manually turn it off. There is no complicated extra wiring, = switches,=20 lights, fuels hoses, check valves, floats, fuel valves,=20 etc. associated with one-off designs. It does sense when the = wing=20 tanks are dry and shut off and shows a blinking yellow light. = Green lights=20 are lit when the pumps are running.

A word of caution. The wing tank Facet pumps need to be = in good=20 condition for the controller to sense the freq. change. I had old = pumps=20 and the controller would not turn off at dry tanks. I replaced the = 2 pumps=20 with new ones and the controller worked fine. Ppavionics wanted my = old=20 pumps to dissect them to determine the exact reason for their failure to = work in conjunction with the controller. So, I sent them to=20 them. Never heard a word back about it, even after a subsequent = e-mail and=20 phone call.

Also the LED indicator lights are difficult to see in direct=20 sunlight. I removed the diffusers behind the lighted buttons = and that=20 made it better. But don't lose the "L" or the "R" behind the = lighted=20 buttons when you put it back together like I did (lost the "R"). I = asked=20 them for another. Never got one. Now I am flying around with = no "R". But that is better than flying around with no = "L"...or=20 whatever her name is.

Also, as Bob mentioned, there are differences between the Facet = pumps, so=20 make sure you get the correct one. Look at the numbers on your = existing=20 pumps. One of the Facet pumps is special use and has check valves = in it=20 for use in wing tip or auxiliary tanks.
