I'm sure I read a post on this somewhere, but darned if I can find it now...
I'm installing the float type fuel level senders in my QB wings. I've bent the wire according to plans (including the last 90 degree bit that seems to have tripped up many), and tested using a multimeter.
What I can't figure out is how to test high and low levels while installed in the tank. I bent the wire per the plans (as I said), but I'm sure there is enough play and variability that it won't necessarily read correctly. Do I just screw it in and go with it? Do I have to "tweak" by filling the tanks for calibration, checking, and pulling out the sensor and re-bending the wire accordingly, maybe several times in multiple iterations (which would suck)?
Thanks in advance.
