I've searched the forums, and it seems that a few years ago, capacitance senders were the hot thing. Then float types were popular again. .what's the latest?
Building a RV8, thinking no flop tubes, planning to stick with 100LL (until forced to go with whatever replacement fuel they come up with. .)thoughts on having both capacitance and floats in the tanks? Seems like a lot of the bad experience with capacitance was corrosion or resistance in wire terminals. .I see now there are aftermarket capacitance probes from LMS, Prinston, CIES and so on. Perhaps they are better than the plate style vans used to sell?
I see float senders are an extra $ option on vans order sheet. What do the wings some with standard?
Any other considerations when ordering the (slow build) wings? Should I delete the fuel caps and order aftermarket upgraded like the Vans RV14 or Andair?
Thanks!
