It is nice to see the list back to doing what it is best at. In terms of the weight penalty I accept this but some of the proposed solutions do not appear to have a massive weight penalty. My personal preference is to do the interior up nicely and use the Jabi 3300 which will contribute a few extra hp to pull the interior along. I think that a half decent interior will also add extra value to the aircraft if eventually I decide to ever sell it. I was concerned about the effect of some types of adhesive on the side skins etc so I think I will go with the more expensive safe bet of the products that are "certified". I don't want to have an issue years down the line. If anyone else has any different forms of installation or suggestions please add your bit and a photo if you can.

Lets all sign in using our first name, airplane model, and State. I think this will help us all know, up front, a lot more information than just using your name.

Can you get your gauges to read from empty to full? I can't get past half way between 3/4 and full. Adjustment screw only regulates lower end. Sender ckecks OK. ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 12:33:46 PM PST US From: "Karl Polifka" Subject: Re: Zenith601-List: VDO fuel gauges (again) Bob, We've never had the gauges work properly. Since everything is all apart it is on my look-at list but not sure what I can do. Any ideas? This appears to be a common problem.

Around 7/8 is as far as the needle will go. I bench tested as well. I have decided to scrap the gauges and use the Dynon glass panel which can be calabrated.

Hello Chuck. The important part is to make the gauge(s) accurate (as possible) when they mark "empty"... - What ever position the needle is in full, there is no big problem, given th at we are going to estimate the time/distance we can travel with the galons (or liters) we put in the tank(s). In fact I am sure that any of the -electric fuel gauges, are "life depend able". -- Only the simple J-3 header type (cork/rod) -or the wings type one with a clear hose on the side can be dependable...and neither of this can be insta lled in the wings of the 601 XL...
