I have EI guage with Van's capacitance plates in the tanks --------
Earlier this summer I thought my EI guage had malfunctioned, so I sent it back to factory for them to check. Nothing was amiss. So I just recalibrated my guage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something has definately changed in the auto gas near Atlanta this summer.
Could be the alcohol , could be Summer Blend additives
I would have thought we were getting some acohol for over a year or so in auto fuel, but maybe not.
I have been burning auto gas almost exclusively since 2004 and the av gas and auto gas were interchangeble with regard to capacitance plate calibration. Never was there a problem.
But lately its has changed by a factor of TWO.
I went back to av gas yesterday after recalibrating the guage to auto gas. Now I am reading half as much fuel as is actually in the tanks.
before taking off yesterday I had 6 in each tank both with 'stick' and on the guages. I fly to local aprt and put 12 in each tank making a total of 18 in each tank, physically.
Guages read 9 in each.
