i wanted to comment that in the 12 years i have been flying my -6a i've noticed many people installing capacitance fuel senders. i didn't have a choice 15 years ago. meanwhile i have read so many posts from people having troubles with them. i have the old float/resistor type, as does my hangar mate. we both have over 1000+ hrs on our planes and have had no problems. we installed them, connnected the wire to the guage, done. the last quarter tank seems to go a bit faster than the first, same as my truck. the only fuel level problem i've had was from installing low-fuel level switches which melted, despite specs that said they were for fuel usage, and almost popped out of the tank. but, that ocurred early on, and i realize that i watch the fuel level like a hawk when flying. kevin [gadgets are fun when they work right. debugging isn't. try fixing intermittent auto pilot/gps glitches for instance] |
