RE: [COUPERS-TECH] FUEL GAUGE

Can anyone give me a link to the SKYPORT company where John bought his glass-tube fuel gauge? I tried "SKYPORT" on Google and got a flight school, the lounge at the Paris Marriot, and a local Turkish airline with the reassuring motto "Always Some Maintenance."

Thanks for your help.

John,

I had a nose-tank cork gas gauge sink in the middle of a flight. I can assure you that gave me some pucker factor. After landing, I took it out and let it air out in the sun while sealing the tank opening with a plastic bag.

After a week of setting in the air and sunshine, it dried out enough to work well for a while (even without being re-varnished) till I got the nice glass tube gauge. Thereve been some good discussions on what varnish to use to re-coat the cork and I hope experts will tell you which to use. Before you re-coat it, if you leave it in the sun and breeze for a week or three, it ought to dry out just fine.

            HI ALL
                MY FUEL GAUGE HAS GOTTEN GAS LOGGED DUE TO A VERY SMALL PIECE OF CORK CHIPPING OFF. WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO DRY IT OUT AND WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD PRODUCT TO USE TO RECOAT IT? I USE AUTO GAS I BOUGHT THESE GLASS TUBE GAUGES FROM SKYPORT AND THERE GREAT.= I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.
                                                     THANK TO ALL,
                                                          JOHN
