Fuel guage question
      
      I have two of Vans fuel guages installed in my 6A - flying about 90 
      hours or so....standard SW sendres in the tanks - they appear to read 
      correctly.
      
      Today when I shut down and turned the master off, I noticed one of the 
      guages went right to zero - so quickly that it looked like the needle 
      bounced on the stop.  The other guage did the normal gentle return to 
      zero.
      
      Do I have an issue here with one of the guages?  I would think they 
      should act the same.
      
      Thanks,
      Ralph Capen

      Ralph-
      
      IME, this is common with this type of gauge. When I first got mine I observed the
      same thing you did and had Van's send me a couple gauges and senders.  I found
      two that behaved similarly, kept and installed them and sent the others back.
      As long as they seem to respond normally to the presence/absence of fuel
      when the system is energized I would leave them alone.  Mine still act properly
      and the same after 13 yrs in the air.
