Plane has just passed the 200 hour mark.
I noticed a couple of months ago whilst refueling the tanks, they were overeading about 20 ltrs (4-5 gallons) per side when about 1/3 full. This is on both sides so that would eliminate a bad electrical join. I've only used Avgas so am pretty sure its not a fuel mismatch issue.
When full, the readings are accurate so the capacitance plates are putting out the correct voltage at that point, however below that, the misreading somewhere starts and then continues.
Im keeping track of fuel burn with my red cube which is pretty accurate.
I plan on draining both tanks and undertaking a recalibration on both tanks.
Before doing that I wondered if anyone might shed some light on this odd behaviour?
