I have read all the pros and cons of float vs cap senders ( threads here and on other sites ). But can anyone tell me how accurate they are in flight? I know the old adage about fuel measurement in an aircraft is only really correct on the ground but I though the whole reason for using cap senders was that in relatively level flight they are extremely accurate relative to float senders.
I'm the guy who keeps getting distracted and forgets to switch tanks on long flights and wonders.... is there 8 gal or 2 in my left tank.
Fuel totalizers and fuel flow meters tell me that I have 10 gallons on board but where the heck is it? Plane tipping to one side not withstanding ;o)
