100LL and auto fuel have different capacitance. Not sure
about different blends of auto fuel. Bobby
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]
