This plus the errors occurring when different fuel additives are present (in Mogas)
are exactly why my senders went back to Vans.
My fuel management will use flow measurement with both a time @ x gph and float
gauge back up.

Harold,
Van's dosen't make it clear that the capacitve tank plates will only work
with the $400 EI gauge (or similar).
You may be able to use the capacitive converters for the EI gauge ($45).
They are just a 555 timer that converts capacitance to frequency. Filtered,
it may work with the analog gauges, haven't tried it though. They will not
be linear. Or, you could design your own capacitance to voltage converter.
