Re: Stus-List Digital fuel gauge...

I'm in the process of replacing my 3 fuel gauges. once new analog gauges are hooked up, i will pour in fuel 5 gallons at a time. Let fuel settle and take readings on gauge. This will give me a fairly close proximity of accuracy.  I'm using 1 gauge with a 3 pole rotary  switch to select which

Re: Stus-List Digital fuel gauge...

Keep in mind that unless your tank has a flat, reasonably level bottom with 4 walls that are reasonably perpendicular to the bottom, ANY fuel gauge that relies solely on the depth of fuel in the tank will need to be calibrated since the depth of fuel of 1/2 tank is unlikely to represent 1/2 of

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Digital fuel gauge...

A “digital” gauge attached to the same old sender will not be any more accurate. I have used plenty of flowmeters that actually count fuel used and absolutely love them. One airplane I used to fly had it connected to the GPS and it would set off an alarm if you didn’t have enough fuel to reach

Re: Stus-List Digital fuel gauge...

Actually just a digital fuel gauge.Tired of the analog being wrong (even after replacing gauge and sending unit). Thought digital might be more accurate. David F. Risch (401) 419-4650 From: CnC-List On Behalf Of Shawn Wright via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2019 2:30 PM To:

Re: Stus-List Digital fuel guage...

Do you mean a fuel tank level gauge, or a digital fuel consumption gauge? The latter would be very interesting to have, but would require two flow meters to monitor the fuel intake, and the return, at least on most engines I think. It would be really nice to be able to watch consumption vs RPM in

Re: Stus-List engine oil

I've used Rotella oil for years with good success. I also used Amsoil for a spell when I was driving a lot more for work, but I barely manage 15k/year now, so Rotella T6 5w40 in my Jetta TDI has worked well for 10 years. In my van, which has an older VW IDI turbo diesel, similar in technology to a

Re: Stus-List Need advice - bilge filling

Try the easy stuff first: Empty your water tanks, dry out the bilge, and see whether it's still filling. If you've been getting heavy rain, perhaps it's just water entering the mast and draining into the bilge. Is there any moisture around the mast step? Shine a light on the stuffing box and see

Re: Stus-List Need advice - bilge filling

I had the same issue this summer and it was stuffing box on prop shaft. It accumulated significantly in the bilge over a week when I was not on the boat. Much faster when motoring. It was very hard to see it dripping because it drips underneath the stuffing box where you can’t see easily. I

Re: Stus-List Need advice - bilge filling

Dave, Went through a similar exercise on my Hylas. It only leaked when under way. Is the water salt or fresh? Hot from the engine? Turned out the stuffing box on the rudder post was leaking as was the sink drain - but only when under way. I suggest you dry the bilge and go out with a friend

Stus-List Need advice - bilge filling

Looking for some help with my bilge filling every two days or so.  I pulled up all of the floor boards this past weekend on my 1980 C 40.  All of the through hulls are dry - none are leaking. But the bilge water level just slowly creeps up.  I'm guessing the issue is with the keel or keel bolts
