I am not sure if it would be linear or not. Not sure if the pressure under so many inches of fuel is the same with a constant area cylinder or one that gets bigger or smaller as it goes up. Been too long since I took physics.
They do sell the sender with or without the fuel computer. The computer is used to calibrate the sender at different fuel levels. I was going to get it without the computer since my EFIS has calibration built in for non-linear senders. You can enter 10 (if I recall correctly) levels and the system then interpolates between them to give you an accurate reading over the whole span even without a linear sender. My plan was to install the sender in a T installed right at the outlet of the tank which is how the other guy with the Mustang did it. That is much easier to do than my other option of installing a capacitative probe in the tank. I spoke to Belite and they said a T right in the fuel outlet is fine. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: KR> Fuel gauges- senders From: Larry Flesner via KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> One of those sensors mounted in a tee fitting low in the fuselage, below or equal to, the bottom of the tank might be a simple and accurate fix. I'm thinking "weight" might be linear, even in a non-linear tank as long as the sensing intervals are not to short and it averages out the reads. I wouldn't want gust loads and G loads in turns, etc., to cause the gauge to bounce all over the place. Hummmm.........
