Default Dual Type Fuel Senders

With the never ending debate on what is going to happen with AV gas, has anyone installed both capacitive senders & float-type senders in their tanks?

The floats will work with any fuel that comes along. Didn't see a need for capacitive.

I would expect the same to be true with the capacitance probes. Although I'm sure there'd have to be some sort of adjustment at the instrument display/computer to account for the difference in capacitance of different fuels.

Bottom line, pick one type and press. Don't overthink this.
