My RV-8 has the stock vans float sensors hooked up to the Dynon Skyview EMS. To date they have been great. Coming back from Sun n Fun my right fuel quantity started acting up. Fill the tanks, and then start up and they both display full. Take off and in the climb out the right fuel quantity gage starts to slowly reduce from full down to zero over about 5 minutes. Its not leaking at all. When I start descent it starts to increase again. Land and shut down and open the tank cap and it is still full. Start up and it shows full again, but same deal in the climb it starts to drop all the way to zero.
Is it high resistance or low resistance that makes the tank show full?
What would be the effect or an open circuit or short?
Is there a common failure mode for the Vans float sensors?
What is the time 'filter' on the fuel quantity display?
Anyone else seen this behavior?
Any help troubleshooting would be much appreciated.
Cheers
