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 On Mon, Mar 8, 2021 at 4:35 PM Eoin Maguire wrote: > Hi all > > Curious has anyone photos or advise on mod 60 float gauge installation on > a pre installed tank.

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.

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 Kingsley in Oz.
