| Subject: | Re: Connecting both sides of the fuel tank |
I have a friend who has linked the 2 sides of the tank with a Y-piece.
He is very much happier to have a nicely calibrated fuel gauge and a simple on/off
fuel valve.
How low are you willing to run any single tank? For me, the answer is about 15
litres. Less that that, and Im getting nervous. With (effectively) 2 tanks, I
dont know how to decide at what point to change the feed side; so end up not using
either leg of the tank.

Why complicate things. There is no need.
All you need to to get acupuncture fuel tank contents is MGL fule computer y
ou don=99t have to connect to gps or a flow meter. It can be used as a
simple fuel gauge. https://www.aeroshop.eu/en/mgl-velocity-asx-2.html
It is simply connected to a fuel float

You simply add fuel at 5 x 11 Lt intervals and add it to the settings on the
fuel computer. First fill the reserve side if the tank first.
9 Lt. in reserve
5 X 11 Lts
Total 64 Lts. Tank full
The fuel computer now will display accurate fuel contents in 1 x 1 Lts inter
vals
Job dun.
