I ran across a couple more questions about the fuel tanks if anyone can help:
The fuel sender float arm needs to be bent. Does anyone have a measurement of how
far back from either end it needs to be bent and is is a 90 degree angle? I
assume the end that attaches to the sending unit only needs to go into the rotating
attachment far enough to catch on the opposite stop?
The fuel sender instructions talk about a back plate and cut-out to get it inn
the tank. Is it possible to attach the sender directly to the tank, the metal
there has been beefed up and looks like it could handle it. If so, what hardware
is recommended for use?
The sender goes from 10-180 ohms. Is the lower resistance for a full or empty tank?
For the tank fittings (finger strainer, drain valve, gas cap, etc) do I need to
coat them with a sealant, o-rings, or pipe tape or will they make a good seal
on their own ?
I realized that the tank sits too far forward and won't allow the skins to sit
flush with the ribs, so I now have to trim the "L" brackets on the spar and and
add "L" brackets to them for that isolation mentioned in an earlier post. Craig,
if you have any pics, drawings, or data on electronic fuel injection I'd
love to see what you have if you wouldn't mind posting it here or e-mailing it
to me. Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated.
