Hi all
Curious has anyone photos or advise on mod 60 float gauge installation on a
pre installed tank. Reading the mod it looks like fuel sender is fitted in
the headset locker....which would be challenging to say the least ?
Any tips / tricks from anyone that has it don, is there any location where
the sender be fitted just outside of the headset locker (towards to centrel
ine)
Kind Regards
Eoin

I'd recommend a non-intrusive gauge:
https://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/inpages/belitefuel10-05866.php?clickkey=1345778
I have one on my Hummelbird, and am in process of installing another on my
Europa. The deep Europa tank makes for accurate operation. Just install at
the fuel drain near the tank outlet.
Output is a simple 0-5V, and calibration is at 0,1/4,1/2,3/4,and full.
I did need to install a second tank pitot (vent), but plummed to the
static-side of the pressure transducer (epoxied a small pipe over the vent
hole), to eliminate low readings at speed. Works a treat.
Cheers,
Pete

I put a fuel sender in and my advice is dont do it.
Imo the sight gauge is more than adequate. Infact i tend to pay more
attention to my flight time that the fuel gauge.
Also as happened to me, eventually the seal will crystalize and the tank
leaks. Replacing it is a bugger of a job.

I agree with not punching any holes in the tank..... and why I really like
the well-functioning belite pressure probe
cheers,

Pete,
Looks good . . . . . What sort of gauge did you use and approx cost please?
Also, does anyone know if there is such a thing as clear tubing that is
fuel PROOF and stays transparent for long term please?
Thanks
