I have been thinking of getting one of these Belite fuel probes for my Mustang. It is basically just a pressure gauge that works based on the weight of the fuel. http://www.beliteaircraftstore.com/uel-probe-system/
I currently have a float sensor in my plane and it is not very consistent. I have recalibrated it on my GRT EFIS twice. I also have a dead accurate fuel flow system that I rely on, but I don't like pressing on with my known accurate fuel totalizer telling me all is good and my known inaccurate fuel level sensor telling me it is not. One of the other Mustang guys tried the Belite and said it is very accurate, but it reads higher if you have a pressurized vent tube on the tank. I have not decided yet that I want to cut off the bent forward part of the tube on my fuel vent and add the Belite sensor or not yet. I kind of like heaving a positive pressure on the vent line. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: KR> Fuel gauges- senders From: Phillip Matheson via KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Sun, September 04, 2016 12:27 am To: KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> Cc: Phillip Matheson <phillipmatheson at bigpond.com> I am about to make long outter wing tanks for my 2ss and would like to hear from flyers that have solved the problem of what senders to use and calibrating the long tapering wing tanks to get reasonable accuracy. I have spoken to Larry about is extra long senders he used, but he still can't get good readings. I have even considered sight glasses on the inside the of fuselage.
