Mogas with EI FL-2CA, does it work?

[swisseagle]

Hello all!

Does anyone have experience with the fuel level gauge from

Electronic International FL-2CA used with Mogas?

My buddy has problem to calibrate the unit, on the ground in flight attitude it works ok, but in flight it shows full when there is only half of fuel in the tanks.

Hopefully anyone has more information, the people form EI does not answer his questions!

Thanks alot

Hmmm nowbody anwers ...

Let change me the question a bit:

Has anyone experience with Mogas and Capacitive Fuel level Systems?

Does it works with Mogas when they are calibrated with Mogas?

Thanks for any input!

I have floats in my tanks, but I've read a bit about the capacitive senders. They seem to work as long as the dielectric constant is about the same from when the senders were calibrated.

Changing from 100LL to mogas causes a lot of trouble. Also, it seems that ethanol in the fuel causes trouble, since it changes the dielectric constant by a lot.

This is why I decided not to use them. I want to run mogas as much as possible, and I want to make sure when I must use 100LL (no mogas available) then my fuel level senders will work ok.

I had capacitve fuel sender in a Midget Mustang, and testing was performed, per Westach instructions, with water. They will work with any gasoline.
