Howdy,

Just received my fuel senders today. The plan shows them mounted in 
the side of the tank and then bending the sender arm into a "Z" shape.
Looking at the "B" upgrade stuff, I see the factory plane has the 
sender mounted on top. I've never seen a plan for doing that.

So.... are there opinions on which is better to do and is 
documentation available for the top mount? Seems like that might be 
less prone to leak.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

I mounted the senders on my XL on top of the fuel tanks.  They work 
fine.  I would be concerned about leaks mounting on the side of the tank.

I have heard some owners worry about tank leaks from senders that are a 
problem even on top of the tank.  There is no easy way to isolate and 
repair these since the skin is riveted over the tank.  I am taking the 
chance, but I've heard some people installed inspection ports over the 
sender for possible repairs.
