| Subject: | CJ fuel gauge help needed. |
All right, when my airplane was delivered, the fuel gauge worked normally. However,
after taking the wings off and putting them back on my fuel gauge doesnt
seem to work normally and actually can be intermittent. It does have power to
the gauge and the low level lights. The gauge reads empty with a low level light
on one side and the other side is intermittent.
I was wondering if there is anyway to test the continuity of the wire from the
gauge to the fuel transmitter sensor on top of the wing or at least to the wing
root area. I have the bags installed but I do have access to the screws at
the sensor. I would like to test the sensor to gauge continuity to make sure
everything is good there. I believe I hooked up all the canon plugs and the electrical
plugs at the wing connection. However, if anybody knows what the wire
connectors look like for the fuel gauges that would really help. Maybe I missed
one.
Also if anybody has a way of testing the fuel sensors or any other part of the
system I would appreciate any feedback. I would like to take the airplane out
of town and I get a little paranoid when I cant read my fuel gauge.
Thanks,
SAM

If you have the 30 gallon bladders in the wings and the vent controls in
the cockpit. Contact me off list. My plane had that system installed
when I purchased it. I have the installation instructions, wiring
diagrams and the calibration procedure for the system.
Suggestion as well. While I do like having the gauge in the plane working,
installing a fuel computer such as the JPI FS-450 is a really nice
addition. It shows fuel burn at the moment helping with your cruise
settings. It calculates the total fuel used and displays the remainder in
the system. I just installed one in my plane and it is a really nice piece
of information. I am sure the group has other instruments that they like
for comment as well.

I resceived some good information from Mark, however, I still need to know what
the connectors look like between the wing and wing route for the fuel system.
Does anyone know if its the large metal Canon plug or the smaller gray plastic
Automotive style connector?
Also, after reading the information I received, it talked about calibrating the
Nanchang fuel gauge to be used with new bag tanks. I was wondering if anybody
has calibrated the gauge and is able to discuss that? Im wondering if I may
need to re-calibrate my gauge after disassembling the airplane. However, before
I do that I want to check the wiring and make sure it has good continuity all
the way to the sensor. This is why I need do you know which connections are
for what in the wing root.
You can contact me off list if you would like.

Can an alternator (Skytronic) be wired to work off the old Generator switch in
the Nanchang? Mine has a switch in the side panel which I would prefer to eliminate
if poss.
