Hi all,
My first post, please be gentle if I have missed an important thread.
RV-4 with an XP-360 Plus, carbureted, resistive fuel senders
I installed an EDM 350 a while back and just now getting around to fuel quantity and pressure (yeah, old Vans gauges are sticking). I sent the unit in and had the board installed and got the P5 harness with it, but no P6 or P7 harnesses. Called them up and they said that the 790802 boxes are no longer required and the "new" P6 harness is not included in the upgrade cost to add the fuel stuff. And they want another $200 for what seems to be 4 wires and a molex male plug...
So my question is if anyone out there has fuel quantity installed WITHOUT the 790802 boxes and, if so, is the P6 harness just 4 wires and a plug? Is there any reason I shouldn't just run 20 gauge and terminate my own plug?
Question 2 is, of course, does anyone know of a market alternative to their 159935A (carbureted) fuel pressure sender? I think they want $370 for it and I'm feeling that's a bit steep.
This is not a slamfest on JPI. I've installed most other sensors and it's been in the plane for 3 years with absolutely flawless performance.
Thanks
