Let us buy the inboard unit and if they really think there's enough demand to build an outboard unit for RV tanks then do that as a follow-on product...
Agreed! I would buy a pair today at $150 each.

I filled out the form, it only took two minutes, hope something comes of this.

Thats exactly what I did .... two years ago ... no answer! And I would buy two sets ... in the meantime, my neighbour has just finished his RV9a. He needs them urgently ... before mounting the wings

Mark, I just stumbled across this thread after posting my opinion poll on this very topic. I had never heard of them before.

I believe that it is hard to beat the capacitance senders that unfortunately van no longer sells.

To make your own would not be very hard at all.

Personally I don't know why anyone would go any other route unless your project were a quick build kit.

My two...
