| Subject: | Van's Fuel Gauges???? |
--> RV8-List message posted by: "Clark, Thomas M UTPWR" <Tom.Clark@UTCFuelCells.com>
RV Team,
I have now had two in flight issues with Van's fuel level gauges and was
wondering if anyone else has had problems. Both failures were a slow burning
on the internal circuit board and resulted in some very interesting smoke
and smell in the cockpit. First failure was at 17 hours and the second at 85
hours. Both units were purchased late last spring. Current draw was not
enough to blow the 3 amp CB. Has anyone on the list had a Van's fuel gauge
failure? Called Van's and the customer service rep said they had not had any
problems with them??

Has anyone out there installed a Garmin GNS430 near the bottom of an
RV-8 panel, just above the Z cross-brace? . . . It may end up resting
on the Z-brace? . . .
I want it right below where the DG would be in a normal "6 pack" (I
will have a BMA "Lite" in that position.
I've not seen any pictures with one installed in that position is the
reason for the question . . . I seem to be the natural position for it
to me . . . am I asking for trouble?
Thanks,
Bob Christensen
