Thanks Gary,
Dan Baier posted some documentation on the Yahoo site. I'll be
reviewing the wiring and probably swapping the guages left for right
(that's a pretty easy test).
Glad to hear it's not an isolated incident.
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.

I have two of Vans fuel gauges installed in my 6A - flying about 90

Today when I shut down and turned the master off, I noticed one of
the gauges went right to zero - so quickly that it looked like the
needle bounced on the stop. The other gauge did the normal gentle
return to zero.
Do I have an issue here with one of the gauges? I would think they
should act the same.

The following is from Garmin's Web site. I don't know when this was posted,
but a friend on mine picked up on a problem this week from another "list
service" he belongs too so I thought I'd pass this note on.
Marty
"Garmin has identified an issue with reception of XM weather products for
aviation and marine devices using a GXM30, GXM31, GXM40 and GXM 51. This
issue will make it difficult for the devices to receive weather information.
The issue has been corrected with a free software release from Garmin.
Aviation software can be updated using Garmin's WebUpdater. The 396 will
need software version 4.60 or higher; the 496 will need software version
3.70 or higher."
