      Hi Tom,
      
      Which capacitive fuel probes do you have?  I have the Princeton units that GRT
      sells and haven't been able to even come close to getting them calibrated.  Actually,
      they went through the calibration fine (5 set points), but the readings
      are completely erroneous.  Sometimes they read full when the tanks are 1/2 empty.
      Sometimes they read empty when the tanks are full.  Sometimes they read,
      well, whatever; usually not the actual amount of fuel.  They are completely
      useless.  I've talked with Princeton, and they've offered no suggestions.
      
      I'm not sure what to do at this point.  Replacing the senders will likely require
      removing the tanks which is no small job on the -7 and -8.  Ack, this sucks.
      I sure wish I'd just used the S&W float senders from Van's now.
