David, The direct correlation between ball joint tightness and cockpit CO readings seems to indicate the problem may lie with your firewall. Of course your exhaust line should be reasonably tight, but it is impossible to avoid fumes in an engine compartment. The firewall is there to prevent flames and engine gases from getting into the cockpit. The firewall should be perfectly gas tight. *Any* aperture or pass-through in the firewall should be suitably sealed with fire resistant grommets, putty, bellows, tape, etc. Not the tiniest hole, slit, crack should be tolerated.

From: "h&jeuropa" Clive, I looked at the Sky Sports website and it appears your probe will output a voltage proportional to the fuel level. There is apparently a full and empty adjustment screw. If you are going to continue to use the VDO gauge, measure the voltage at the S terminal of the gauge when it indicates empty and when it indicates FULL fuel. If they are both less than 5 volts, you can connect directly to your EIS. If they exceed 5 volts, you will need to make a simple voltage divider with two resistors. If the voltage is 0 when the tank is empty and 5 volts when the tank is FULL (18 US gal), your SF would be 90 and OFFSET would be 0 using the Forward, Decimal feature of the EIS. If your voltages are different or you want other than US gal, I've attached a document that explains how to calculate SF and OFF. If you still have questions, please ask.
