After flying in rain, I lost the left sensor reading.  Then flying in more rain, I lost the right reading too.  It was quite a rainy weekend.  Fortunately the center tank reading never wavered.  I took off/landed in rain but can't remember if the loss of readings happened after the gear was down in rain or not.  A few days later, both readings came back.  Since I have unsealed connectors in the wheel well, I've just attributed the problem to water getting into the connectors.  I have not yet tried sealing the connectors to see if that would help. 
 
I have an automatic fuel transfer system based on center tank float switches, but losing the center tank fuel level reading would be a problem nonetheless.
