Hello aviators
I purchased an RV6 almost 12 months ago and haven't stopped grinning since. The fuel gauges have never worked and the previous owner told me they were disconnected due to BNC sealing issues. In the end he gave up and gummed the whole lot up and relied on the fuel totaliser which does work well. I'd like to resolve those issues and plan to remove the tanks, replace the inspection plates with a hermetically sealed BNC connector and do the job properly. However, I'm not sure about the fuel sender that's installed in the tanks. I know from the builders log its a capacitance type but other than that I have no information about it. A photo of the sender is below. Does anyone recognise it and point me to a web site where I can find out more about it? All help and comments would be appreciated.
