I'm New Here
New RV-7A owner trying to solve my fuel gauge issues and wondered if any of you have experienced any similar problems that might help shortcut my troubleshooting.
I emptied the left tank then filled it in 2-gallon increments. The gauge was very accurate up to 12 gallons but then it all went to heck. Above 12 gallons the gauge was pegged at full. I realize that wing dihedral, tank shape, etc. all factor in but for the sensor to report accurate values for just over 1/2 tank and then go immediately to full-scale does not make sense.
Any explanations and/or suggestions from the experts out there?
Thanks.
