I made a removable wing tip light installation big enough to pass the end disc of the probe. I used soft aluminum tube bent to improve linearity. This has the advantage that the tip end of the capacitance tube is at the inboard end of the tank and very close to the bottom giving good readings at low fuel levels. I reach the adjustment screws through the aileron bell crank inspection hole in the lower skin. Ross W.
