Fuel Tank Sending Units

I'm going order my RV7 slow build wing kit next week. Wondering about the optional fuel sending units. It says they work with resistance gauges. Will these work with a glass panel unit, or does that require a different sending unit?
 
Yes, but always verify what your EIS EFIS requirements are. Resistance= float style sender or capacitance = tube type. Many vendors accept either
 
My answer is specific to GRT glass, but I’m 99% certain it applies to all glass: yes, the resistance senders work fine with glass panels. And a bonus: the glass lets you calibrate the floats to your specific tank, taking out non-linearities (both the senders, plus tank dihedral, leading edge curves, etc) so that the readings are amazingly accurate.
