Guys ... I made a chart (picture) in Excel for both inches and a FuelHawk
dipstick.
I'm going to laminate mine and keep it with the FuelHawk dipstick, but the
inches version could be used the same way with a wooden ruler (do they
still sell wooden ones?)
If anyone wants a copy, download it here.....

PS the FuelHawk dipstick is available at most pilot supply places, and is
a clear plastic tube with calibrations. You put your finger over the top
of the tube after it is dipped into the tank.

Evening,
Anyone have any experience with the "Cable Safe" firewall pass-through
fittings? I'm routing my cables back through the firewall and my A&P and I
are scratching our head at the old hardware used to pass the carb heat,
mixture, and cabin heat cables through the firewall. We personally see this
as being an improvement over the old hardware. Haven't asked my mech this
yet, but I'm assuming something like this would require field approval?

Don't know if I'm the last one to figure this out or not, but if you send an
email to the Grumman Gang, and Bcc Team Grumman (so that the GG doesn't see
whom else you sent the message to) you can send the same email to both
lists. I've got MS Outlook so I can Bcc. I don't know if you can do it
with yahoo, aol, etc...
