It jumps all over the place. when full or less than 3/4 it's OK. Could not find a ground problem so I suspect the fuel probe in the tank being the culprit. However I can't find it. I expected it somewhere under the seat but only found the 2 fuel lines. Can anybody help me to steer me in right direction where the probe sits and if it's easy to remove ( If anybody has done that before ). So I don't have to tear out everything. I appreciate your help. Thanks Al -------- Flying is the highest form of life on earth.

My fuel gage does the same thing. If its running out the filler, it's full. Time x 4-1/2 gph is the only thing I trust -----Original Message----- From: parahawk Sent: Thursday, May 07, 2009 16:18 Subject: Allegro-List: Fuel gauge probe My fuel gauge acts weird when tank is 3/4 full.

Be sure t o always leave with a full fuel tank (come on its only 14 gals if your empt y) and use 4.5 gals per hour and have a timer to keep track...Why take any chances, no switching tanks, just fill her up and keep track of the time th e engine is running,, Stay safe, Brian Carpenter N3081x --- On Thu, 5/7/09, Jim Hazen wrote: From: Jim Hazen Subject: RE: Allegro-List: Fuel gauge probe I would never trust any fuel gage unless it read empty.- My fuel gage doe s the same thing.
