If there is a -7/7A builder in the Austin area with an unstarted or partially completed Left fuel tank, I got a favor to ask.
I'm having a heck of a time trouble shooting a fuel sender problem on my left tank. The wing is on the plane and the left sender (float type) won't budge off empty when I put fuel in the tank. The fuel sender arm is bent to Van's spec's but I can not verify the geometry of the arm and float when it's installed in the tank.
If someone has a partially completed tank or unstarted -7 tank, I'd like to check the geometry of my sender so I can get an idea about what's going on inside the tank.
Alternatively, if you got a left fuel sender that you know as the correct geometry (i.e. arm length and bend angle), I'd like to compare my sender to yours.
